da gbg bet: Everton centre-back Michael Keane has revealed that Republic of Ireland international Seamus Coleman is nearing a return to first-team action.
da pinnacle: Toffees boss Sam Allardyce has not publicly discussed Coleman’s recovery since coming through the door at Goodison Park.
However, Keane has now provided an update, with the centre-back claiming that Coleman could make his return ‘in the not too distant future’.
The right-back has been on the sidelines since breaking his leg while representing Republic of Ireland against Wales in March 2017.
The 29-year-old has been back training in recent weeks, however, and Keane has now revealed that his fellow defender is nearing a return to the field.
Keane told Everton’s official website:
“We hope Seamus Coleman will be back in the not too distant future.”
Coleman, who is valued at £13.5m by transfermarkt.co.uk, made 28 appearances in all competitions for Everton last season before breaking his leg.
The full-back is just three appearances away from 250 in an Everton shirt, and it now appears almost certain that he will reach that milestone in the coming months.
