The Toffees coach is demanding more from the talented Colombian, with his fitness levels this summer yet to match his undoubted ability
Rafa Benitez is giving little away when it comes to James Rodriguez's future at Everton, with the Toffees boss having no issue with the Colombian's ability but admits his fitness is not where it needs to be.
The South American playmaker continues to see a summer move away from Goodison Park mooted after just one season in English football.
He struggled to settle initially, despite having the familiar face of Carlo Ancelotti calling the shots, and has nursed injury problems of late that prevented him from figuring for his country at the Copa America.
