Tony Bellew told Seamus Coleman that he is in everybody's thoughts as the former boxer sent the Everton and Ireland captain a message on Monday night.
Coleman was taken off on a stretcher during Everton's 2-2 draw with Leicester at the King Power Stadium and looked to be in a lot of pain.
Former WBC cruiserweight world champion and Everton fan Bellew took to social media to send the Donegal native a message.

He tweeted: "Just got back after a long trip and all I’m thinking about is how this legend is? Seamus Coleman you epitomize everything that’s great about our club! You give everything you have every time you walk on to that pitch! A true Evertonian! Thank you. We are all praying for you tonight."
Coleman picked up the injury after a nasty collision with Leicester's Boubakary Soumare in the 43rd minute of the Premier League clash.
Soumare went in for a tough tackle on Coleman, and upon impact, it appeared that the Irishman had badly twisted his knee. Play was immediately called to a halt as Coleman received treatment from medics.
He was then taken off on a stretcher but applauded the travelling fans as he was, while he also handed out instructions to team-mates.
After the game, Everton boss Dyche said on the injury: "It's really unfortunate. We're waiting on news, it could be serious, a knee injury. I thought he was terrific."
Coleman was replaced by Nathan Patterson in the fifth minute of stoppage time at the end of the first half. And by that point, Everton were 2-1 down after Caglar Soyuncu and Jamie Vardy cancelled out Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s opener from the penalty spot.
However, Alex Iwobi restored parity nine minutes into the second half. The result leaves Everton inside the relegation zone with four games to go.
