Greenwood, who's aiming to rebuild his career at Getafe, was removed from FIFA 22 after he was arrested in late January last year and was not included in EA's final FIFA game.
In a statement from EA, sourced from the Daily Mail, they gaming publishers said: "EA SPORTS FC 24 authentically reflects the active rosters of teams and clubs in the real world of football.
"As he is now part of an active roster with Getafe CF, Mason Greenwood will be included in FC 24. As Greenwood was not part of an active roster at the time of our cut-off date for final team and player data, he will not appear in Ultimate Team at launch."

Greenwood's arrest last year sent shock waves around football world, and with charges against him, including attempted rape and assault, being dropped on 2 February this year, it looks like 21-year-old will be unbanned from EA's new football video game.
EA also stated that there are currently no plans to add Greenwood into Ultimate Team at this time and he will also not be included in the mobile version of the game because Getafe are not a playable club on that mode.
Greenwood's rating on the game is yet to be disclosed ahead of the official worldwide release next week Friday.
