Impact In the article, the medical director talks about the non-seriousness of the injury and that Rodriguez would've likely been 100 percent for Copa America. Instead, Rodriguez will sit out the competition and be ready to go for Everton camp, unlike a lot of his teammates. This is clearly good news for the club and the hope is this added rest can help him put together a complete season.

James Rodriguez ruled out of Copa America and World Cup qualifiers for Colombia with injury | Goal.com James Rodriguez has been ruled out of Colombia's upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Peru and Argentina, and the subsequent Copa America this summer

Out for summer Rodriguez (calf) has been ruled out of World Cup Qualifiers and this summer's Copa America, the Colombian federation announced Friday.

Impact A lack of fitness has been the theme all season for Rodriguez and he won't be able to help his country while still dealing with nagging injuries. One can only hope that he's healthy by the time the next EPL season begins, as a healthy Rodriguez is one of the better fantasy assets available after he recorded six goals and four assists in just 23 appearances (21 starts). Along with the combined 23 goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison, Rodriguez is the key piece to help Everton compete at the top of the table, though only if he can stay fit.

Out for finale Rodriguez (undisclosed) will miss Sunday's finale against Manchester City, according to manager Carlo Ancelotti.

Impact While Rodriguez was supposedly rested midweek, it's clear his calf is still bugging him after playing 78 minutes last weekend. His ongoing calf issues costed him a good portion of the season, though his presence was still felt, managing six goals and four assists in 23 appearances (21 starts) this season.

Not risked Wednesday Rodriguez is not in the squad Wednesday against Wolves because "he was a little bit tired," according to manager Carlo Ancelotti.

Impact This isn't too surprising for Rodriguez given his calf history and that he went 78 minutes a few days ago. Gylfi Sigurdsson will take over set pieces with Lucas Digne on Wednesday, while Rodriguez will aim to be ready for Sunday's finale at Manchester City.

Takes five corners in loss Rodriguez went 78 minutes and compiled two chances with five corners in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Sheffield United.

Impact Rodriguez posted his usual numbers Sunday, but none of his opportunities led to goals. He holds fantasy value because of set pieces, but on a short week, there's a chance he doesn't start Wednesday following a calf issue that kept him out three-straight matches.

Starting Sunday Rodriguez made the starting lineup for Sunday's match against Sheffield United.

Impact Rodriguez had missed the last three matches with a calf injury but was declared fit well in advance of this match. His place in the lineup may be a little surprising given his injury issues this season, but he's done enough to earn his place and try to continue his productive campaign.

MAY 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Set to return Sunday Rodriguez (calf) is fit and available for Sunday's match against Sheffield United, according to manager Carlo Ancelotti.

Impact Rodriguez only returned to training Friday after missing the last three matches, so it's hard to see him being well enough to start Sunday. Of course, he's only come off the bench two other times this season, so that may not matter. But even if he starts, a full 90 is unlikely for Rodriguez.

Impact Rodriguez's return keeps getting extended even though Ancelotti originally said it was a minor problem and would only cost him a match. He'll miss his third-straight game Thursday with Everton in need of three points every match the rest of the way. Gylfi Sigurdsson and Lucas Digne will continue to take the majority of set pieces in Rodriguez's absence.
