The South American playmaker has been overlooked by club and country of late, with two managers needing to be convinced of his worth
James Rodriguez is currently out of favour with club and country, with the Everton playmaker being warned by Colombia coach Reinaldo Rueda that he is going to need to reach "500%" in order to be drafted back into his plans.
That could be a struggle for the South American as he remains on the fringes of Rafa Benitez's plans at Goodison Park, with no competitive minutes taken in for the Toffees this season.
Niggling knocks have been frustrating James, leading to him being left out by Colombia, and Rueda - who saw a war of words sparked when the 30-year-old was removed from Copa America plans over the summer - says "100% is not enough" to earn favour again.
