Everton FC latest: Reprieved Jack Rodwell backed to carry on improving

Jack Rodwell

JACK RODWELL has been backed to make the most of his red-card reprieve and carry on improving for Everton FC.

Rodwell had a three-match suspension quashed after the Football Association rescinded his controversial dismissal by Martin Atkinson in last Saturday’s 2-0 home defeat to Liverpool.

The 20-year-old is now free to continue his recent encouraging form in Everton’s next Premier League game at Chelsea on Saturday week.

Rodwell has grasped the opportunity presented by the deadline-day departure of Mikel Arteta to Arsenal.

And Everton first-team coach Jimmy Lumsden believes the youngster is back on his way to realising the potential that had him earmarked as one for the future on his breakthrough almost four years ago.

“The game at Man City where Jack man-marked David Silva was a learning curve for him and I thought he did really well,” said Lumsden.
