Plenty of Everton fans have welcomed an update from Carlo Ancelotti on the fitness of James Rodriguez ahead of their game against Southampton on Sunday.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, the Italian said that the Colombia international trained today and may well be fit to play against the Saints.

This comes in contrast to Ancelotti saying that Rodriguez would not be available for the match, as it seems that the 29-year old may have made a miraculous recovery from the injury that he picked up from a tackle by Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk last weekend.

Indeed, Rodriguez may be a key player for the Toffees if they want to return to winning ways in the Premier League, given that the former Real Madrid star has scored three goals and supplied a further four assists in six games in all competitions so far in 2020/21 (Transfermarkt).

These Everton supporters lauded the news on Rodriguez via Twitter, with one Toffees fan even branding the Colombian as a ‘sweet prince’:
Yesssss my sweet prince!
