Among the isolated players is the Colombian star James Rodriguez, who hoped to play in front of the home fans for the first time since his move to the club a year ago.

- We have some players who are isolated, so we have to be very careful, says coach Rafa Benitez according to the BBC, he also confirms that Rodriguez is one of the isolated:

- Some players have to stay at home, James is one of them.

According to the club, the isolation should be seen as just that and not an outbreak in the club.

Everton will for the first time since March 1, 2020 play in front of full stands at home at Goodison Park tomorrow, Saturday.
