Everton team news confirmed with James Rodriguez absent for Wolves

Everton will be without James Rodriguez for tonight’s game with Wolves in front of 6,500 fans.

Blues supporters must wait for a first glimpse of the Colombian after he was not included in the matchday squad.

Rodriguez is presumed to be injured but Everton have yet to clarify why he is absent.

Yerry Mina returns to the starting line-up for this evening’s game with Mason Holgate dropping to the bench.

Gylfi Sigurdsson comes in for Rodriguez.

Everton are otherwise unchanged with Carlo Ancelotti giving most of the players who badly underperformed at Goodison on Sunday, a chance to make amends in the final home game of the season.

Jordan Pickford continues in goal with Ben Godfrey, Michael Keane and Mina in front of him.

Seamus Coleman, Allan, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Lucas Digne also keep their places with Sigurdsson playing in support of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison.

Everton: Pickford; Mina, Keane, Godfrey; Coleman, Allan, Doucoure, Digne; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Sigurdsson

Substitutes: Olsen, Holgate, Delph, King, Iwobi, Nkounkou, Bernard, Gomes, Davies
