Injury Expert provides a training report on Seamus Coleman, who is expected to return in October.
Dr. Rajpal Brar, an injury expert, has joined us as an exclusive columnist. He’ll be sharing his thoughts on Everton’s injury situation every week…
According to Dr. Rajpal Brar, Everton defender Seamus Coleman appears to be on track to return to first-team action towards the end of October.
He could be back to light training soon, according to the injury expert, if he hasn’t already been out for several months.
The 34-year-old Republic of Ireland international last appeared for Everton against Leicester City in May, when he was stretchered off the field.
He indicated on August 23 that he would be back in six to eight weeks.
Brar, a physical therapist and sports scientist, told Goodison News exclusively about his situation:
He could be back to light training soon, according to the injury expert, if he hasn’t already been out for several months.

“Coleman is recovering from a knee ligament injury, and the only thing I’ve heard from the club is that it’s not an ACL injury.”
“At this point, he’s most likely returned to and/or been involved in sports-specific movements, progressing to the point where he can potentially return to light training.”
“Given his comments in August, there’s a good chance he’ll be back in October.”
Coleman was the Toffees’ first-choice right-back until his injury setback, despite his age.
Nathan Patterson has been Sean Dyche’s go-to choice there this season, but James Garner and Ben Godfrey have also been used there in recent months.
Dyche will be looking for Coleman to return to action as soon as possible since he is not just a key player on the field but also a leader and has a significant impact on the dressing room.
