Premier League Calf injuries give him problems
James Rodriguez has an enemy in English football. Calf injuries have their time at Everton so far, and they still hold in the way that he has rediscovered his best form since 2014.
Eyebrows are raised as Carlo Ancelotti prefers to take him down halfway into the second half Everton‘s 3-3 draw Manchester United Sunday, though, a quick conversation with the coach along the sidelines raises concerns.
Ancelotti later confirmed that James was suffering from a bit of discomfort at half time, but with Everton trailing 2-0 Old trafford, he knew his team needed him and wanted to continue.
The Toffees fought back and the Colombian scored their equalizer not long after the break, with two goals in a row.
James has already missed five games this season with calf discomfort. They were described by Ancelotti as minor problems but saw Rodriguez for 25 days.
When played, the formerReal Madrid player made an impression in English football, but his own calves turned out to be his biggest enemy.
