Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti admits keeping playmaker James Rodriguez fully fit for the rest of the season will play a huge part in their quest for European football. “James is well and in good condition, he trained well in this break and he is motivated. However, Ancelotti said that snub and the desire to play at Euro 2020 can benefit the player and the club. He trained really well, was focused, and I said to him there would still be an opportunity,” he said. “Gareth Southgate is focused on games and if Michael does his best he will be in the squad.”
