Everton star James Rodriguez to be forced into isolation
Everton star James Rodriguez will be forced into isolation after his trip to Ibiza during the international break.
That’s according to Marca, who also claim that the Colombian will be training alone rather than with the group for the near future.
It is suggested that Rodriguez will now miss the Premier League games with Burnley and Aston Villa around the corner.
Rodriguez could be back for the Carabao Cup clash against QPR after those two, but that appears unlikely.
Rafa Benitez doesn’t have the best of relationships with the playmaker from their time at Real Madrid, and it doesn’t look to have improved.
The attacker clearly doesn’t have any respect for anyone at the club or Goodison Park, or he wouldn’t be doing things such as this.
Being in an elite sports bubble at Finch Farm should not have seen him partying in Ibiza with friends outside of that bubble.
Last straw.
We can’t take any more of this, and it is perfectly clear that Rodriguez has burned all of his bridges on Merseyside.
The Colombian is wanted by Turkish clubs before their deadline tomorrow, but with this new isolation, that could have scuppered things.
Carlos Aleman suggested this week that the Toffees are even willing to pay to get rid of Rodriguez from his monster wages.
We can’t see that happening, and it is bad news for everyone involved.
It is a huge waste of money for the club and waste of time for Rodriguez, who clearly doesn’t want to be at Goodison Park.
