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.
