Yakubu won't feature against Reading after his late return to Everton.
The Nigerian turned up at Finch Farm on Friday morning, two days later than anticipated, and David Moyes informed him he wouldn't be involved in this weekend's fixture.
It remains to be seen whether or not the top-scorer will be on board Tuesday’s flight to Bergen for the Uefa Cup first leg with SK Brann.
The Everton boss said the matter was being dealt with privately and declined to comment further.
Moyes told evertonfc.com: "All I would say is that it is an internal matter. Yak has been in this morning, I have spoken to him and he won't be included in tomorrow's squad."
