Everton have confirmed that Allan, James Rodriguez and Abdoulaye Doucoure will all be available to face Tottenham Hotspur in tomorrow’s Premier League opener. Carlo Ancelotti has had very little time to work with his three major midfield signings but their availability will likely be a boost ahead of a tough test against Jose Mourinho’s side.
Carlo Ancelotti said “They are all in good condition and I am happy they have no problems. They have trained all week and are ready to play… I don’t know if they are able to play 90 minutes – or if they are going to start – but they are available. Allan and Doucoure were training at their clubs before coming here, so were already in good shape physically. James started to fully train this week but he is fit.”
