Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti is confident his side can cope without playmaker James Rodriguez after the Colombia international was ruled out of the visit of Chelsea.
The 29-year-old sustained a calf injury in last weekend's draw with Burnley and has not trained all week and Ancelotti is not prepared to take a risk despite the obvious influence the South American has on his side.
Since his arrival from Real Madrid at the start of the season, Rodriguez has scored three Premier League goals and provided three assists but his contribution goes much deeper than that.
