Everton boss Ancelotti: Van Dijk injured James in tackle

Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti admits James Rodriguez is out of their clash with Southampton.

Ancelotti has revealed James will be unavailable for Everton's trip to Southampton on Sunday after being injured by Virgil van Dijk against Liverpool last week.

James completed the game but will be out for the Toffees' trip to St Mary's as they bid to continue their unbeaten start to the campaign.

Ancelotti said: "Unfortunately, James had a problem during the game.

“He had a mistimed tackle with Virgil van Dijk at the beginning of the game and I think he will not be available for the game against Southampton."
