Sam Allardyce provides update on Seamus Coleman’s return and James McCarthy’s recovery

Everton manager Sam Allardyce has included Seamus Coleman in his matchday squad for the Toffees trip to Burnley on Saturday.

Coleman returned from a double leg break against Leicester City at the end of January but came off at half-time against Crystal Palace just ten days later after sustaining a thigh injury. Coleman has not played for the club since the win over the Eagles but Allardyce confirmed at his pre-match press conference on Friday that the Ireland captain would return to the club alongside left-back Leighton Baines. https://twitter.com/Everton/status/969506636351070210 Allardyce also added that midfielder James McCarthy is walking again but he was reluctant to put a time frame on the player's return from a double leg break. "It will be next season for James," said Allardyce. "It's a long process because of the compound fracture and the bones came through the socks. "The wounds haven't healed correctly yet but he is walking unaided at the moment, so that's a good sign. He will start a long rehab, as did Seamus Coleman who had a similar injury. "I would never put a date on a thing like that [injury] even though physios and doctors do it. "I don't think you should ever put a time on anybody's injury because each individual has a different healing process. Some will heal quicker than others."
