Ancelotti warned that it was good that the cucuteño returned and played until the first overtime.

“No, James has to train well like he trained last week, he has to play, he’s used to being fit and playing. The fact that he played 99 minutes in the cup helped him to have a better condition in the future, that’s for sure, “said the manager.

James had been recovering from muscle ailments, which prevented him from being with his team at the end of 2020, but with the game against Rotherham it helps him to gain confidence.

“He has to maintain his quality at the highest level, and his quality is not physical. I did not sign him to have more physical power in the squad, but for more quality. The job of a manager is to try to unite this quality and the physical, “Ancelotti said.

Everton will play this Tuesday against Wolves, a Premier League match and it is possible that James Rodríguez will start.
