Rodrigo set for return
The talented forward, who is on loan for the season from Botafogo, broke down in training last September and has been undergoing rehabilitation in his homeland.
His has now confirmed that he will be back this week and hopes to begin training immediately.
"I'm very well and I will be back at Everton on February 21," Rodrigo told the club's official website.
"I'll arrive in Liverpool in the afternoon I hope to be at the Southampton game at Goodison Park.
"The doctors have said that I can start playing again, my muscles are strong again and I just need to be back in the team."
Rodrigo will be desperate to get back into training in order to secure a permanent £3.5 million move.
