Everton defender Seamus Coleman will be gradually reintroduced after missing many weeks – Injury Expert
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 will be gradually re-integrated into the first-team setup following his injury last season.
In a 2-2 tie against Leicester City in May 2023, the Toffees skipper had to be carried off the field on a stretcher, thereby ending his season.
He had knee surgery on May 12 and has not played any games or returned to full training since then.
Brar, a doctor of physical therapy and a sports scientist, told Goodison News exclusively: “His training appears to be limited right now with low-intensity training and re-acclimating him to football movements along with ongoing rehab in the gym.”
“His progression will really depend on how he responds, so I can’t give a timeline on that, but based on the reported return dates, he looks likely to be out for several weeks.”
“Given that he had surgery and missed a significant amount of time, he’ll most likely be reintroduced gradually with bounce matches.”
Premier Injuries claimed that he is likely to return by October 21, but Dr. Brar is hesitant to give a specific date.
Coleman is currently back on the grass and working with physios to restore match sharpness.
The Republic of Ireland international may be subjected to under-21s games to assess his fitness levels before returning to the Premier League.
The Merseyside derby is on the 21st, and Coleman’s return to play against Liverpool will be a huge boost.
