Everton hope striker Leandro Rodriguez is finally over the hamstring problem that put the brakes on his first-team dream.
The 23-year-old summer signing made a flying start to his Blues career, scoring in his first two games for the under-21s, but hopes of a senior breakthrough have since been hampered by injury. Rodriguez picked up the hamstring issue in late October and though he returned for Everton u-21s’ games with Blackburn and Middlesbrough last month, the injury had not fully healed.

But Roberto Martinez believes the £500,000 buy from River Plate Montevideo in Uruguay, is now on the road to recovery. Rodriguez could feature for the Blues’ second string before Christmas but Everton will make sure to handle his return with care. Plans are in place to secure the forward a Football League loan before the end of the season with Martinez hoping that a strong pre-season, next summer, will see him pushing for first-team inclusion at the start of the 2016/17 campaign.

“He is training well now,” Martinez said. “He lost the best part of six weeks and that happens, when you are coming in from abroad and you haven’t yet got the body to cope with the physicality and intensity of the British game. “He has been working for a few days now and has worked well. “So in the next three or four weeks I expect him to be back playing a few games for the under-21s. “He got injured, came back against Blackburn game, the same game in which Tyias Browning got injured, and then felt it again against Middlesbrough. “It has been giving him trouble but now he is back in training.”

Rodriguez’s father was staying with the striker but had to return to Uruguay. However the forward’s girlfriend has been flown over to Liverpool to be with Rodriguez. Martinez had originally planned to sign Rodriguez in January but decided to press ahead with the move in the summer window in order to give the player more time to adapt to life in England.
 
Interesting. So he was going to sign him in Jan to get him ready for next season.

Hopefully he can get a loan in Jan.

Code : hopefully ship him off to a league one club in January and never see him again.
 


Be nice on the guy, he's barely arrived and started adjusting, getting used to a new life in a completely different environment. Keep in mind he has decent conditions for adapting despite the injury. There is no urgency to put him in the team as Lukaku is bossing everything for 90 minutes twice a week. If injuries to our forwards should happen, we might be talking game time for Leandro but he's happily blooming in the U-21's until summer i'm sure.
 
Not in the squad again, looking like a gamble that never paid off.

Lukaku has nearly scored more goals this season than he has scored in his whole career. Not the best stat for a supposedly goal poacher.
