Colombian James Rodríguez will not be able to be in the quarterfinals of the League Cup of England this Wednesday with his Everton against Manchester United because he has not yet recovered from the injury in the calf. The former Real Madrid and Bayern midfielder, among other teams, has missed the last three games and will not be able to help Everton against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men either.
“James is not yet available,” Carlo Ancelotti, who also has the withdrawal of midfielder Allan, said at a press conference, who will miss all the games of the Christmas period.
Everton comes to this duel after having won their last three games, against Chelsea, Leicester City and Arsenal. Those of Ancelotti, who are starring in a great season, are fourth in the Premier table, in the Champions zone, with the same points as United, 3rd (their rival this Wednesday), one behind Leicester (2nd) and 5 from Liverpool, his citizen rival and leader of the present English championship.
