'A lot sooner' - Seamus Coleman shares injury latest and singles out Everton player for praise

Seamus Coleman has admitted he 'feared the worst' when he was stretchered off during Everton's draw with Leicester City earlier this month.

The 34-year-old, who is out of contract this summer, was taken off on a stretcher after sustaining a knee injury in a challenge by Boubakary Soumare at the end of the first-half. Everton would go on to draw the game 2-2 at the King Power.

Initial fears were that the Republic of Ireland international had suffered a serious setback, but scans confirmed that there was no damage to his ACL, which would have meant a lay-off of nine to 12 months. However, Coleman is not expected to play for Everton again this season.
