The coach announced that the Colombian is not yet recovered from his injury and will not be in the match. The winger has a calf problem that has not allowed him to train normally and for which he has already lost games against Chelsea and Leicester. .

“James isn’t there yet. It’s too early to put him at risk, he’s working,” the DT said at a news conference Friday.

“James is out for three games because we have games every three days, the problem is not big. It’s a small problem in his calf, he’s recovering. Nothing special.”, Said the DT, who hopes to have the wheel in this Wednesday’s Cup match against Manchester United.

Ancelotti was also consulted for Everton’s defensive ability in recent games in which he has not been Colombian.
