James Rodriguez has not been distracted by the Copa America, insists Carlo Ancelotti, who will be without the Colombian playmaker for Everton's final game against Man City as he continues recovery from injury

Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti insists James Rodriguez has not been distracted by this summer's Copa America after a disappointing end to the campaign.

The Colombia playmaker missed Wednesday's game against Wolves due to 'fatigue' and has made just 26 appearances in his first season after being troubled by a calf injury which will keep him out of their final fixture against champions Manchester City.

He scored six goals and recorded four assists in 23 Premier League appearances.
