The Everton defender is poised to return to action.
Everton have been given a major boost ahead of Wednesday night’s game at home to Leicester City with Seamus Coleman set to return to the squad.
Coleman hasn’t played competitively since suffering a broken leg while representing the Republic of Ireland in March 2017 but the defender featured for Everton’s U23 side against Portsmouth last week.
As reported by the Liverpool Echo, Coleman is set to return to the squad against Leicester, although it isn’t clear whether he will take to the field.
In Coleman’s absence, youngster Jonjoe Kenny has been very impressive and the pair are set to be involved in an engaging battle to be Everton’s first-choice right-back.
Coleman will undoubtedly take time to build up his fitness after such a lengthy layoff and the 29-year-old will hope that his injury doesn’t have any lasting effects.
Everton will be determined to return to winning ways against Leicester having lost three of their last four Premier League games.
After the game against Leicester, Everton face a tough task at the weekend as they face Arsenal away, and manager Sam Allardyce will be wary that his side, who are currently six points clear of the drop zone, have much work to do in order to avoid relegation.
