Seamus Coleman insists he has “no fear (he) won’t be coming back the same player” from his broken leg.
And while the Blues defender admits he’ll have tough days during his rehabilitation, he knows he’s “still got the best job in the world”.
The 28-year-old returned to USM Finch Farm this week to begin his road to recovery, having suffered a double leg break while skippering the Republic of Ireland against Wales on 9 March.
Coleman has been back in the gym and pool at the Club’s training ground after undergoing successful surgery. And while he acknowledges he will need plenty of patience before he puts on an Everton shirt again, the right-back has no concerns about getting back out on the pitch.
