A scan confirmed that Seamus Coleman has not suffered any damage to his cruciate, easing fears that the Republic of Ireland and Everton captain would be sidelined for a prolonged period.
The 34-year-old was stretched off during Everton’s Premier League match with Leceister on Monday night, prompting worries that he might miss Ireland’s Euro 2024 qualifiers against Greece and Gibraltar, fixed for next month.
However, in an update shared via Everton’s Twitter page, Coleman announced that he hoped to be back playing soon.
“Just wanted to update you all, thanks so much for all the well wishes. Just back from my scan & pleased to say I have no ACL damage. Be back soon,” the statement read.
