James Rodriguez remains unavailable at Everton. The duel against Chelsea was lost and now the one of this Wednesday, against Leicester is lost.
It is those parties in which it is necessary to justify the investment, fulfill the expectation, put duct tape over the mouths of the critics. And it is not.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti was moderately cautious on the matter, considering that a clause in the Colombian’s contract would prevent him from referring openly to his health problems. “James started his individual training yesterday (Monday). We have to monitor him day by day,” he said.
No idea if he will recover for the visit of Arsenal, next Saturday, less if on Wednesday 23 he will have activity against Manchester United for the Carabao Cup. Day by day. A shame just now that he had been rested from the trips with the Colombian Selection, who had overcome the problem that he suffered against Liverpool, apparently a problem in a testicle … they say.
The truth is that the list of injuries, which is already very long, has three entries in the Premier League and that when Everton is needing him, he is not there. Everything else is added.
