CAIRO-7 November 2020: Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez returns to Everton starting line-up after missing the last two game against Newcastle United.

After gaining 12 points from the first four games of the season, Everton drew with city rivals Liverpool and lost two matches against Southampton and Newcastle United.

In his debut season in the Premier League, the Colombian took the league by storm and he had a huge impact on his team’s performance in the league.
