Seamus Coleman named to start for Everton – and they’ve marked his comeback

written by Alan Foley January 31, 2018

EVERTON HAVE MADE a move to welcome Seamus Coleman back to competitive action tonight at Goodison Park – he’s been named to start.

Coleman suffered a broken leg last March whilst captaining the Republic of Ireland against Wales in a World Cup qualifier but has just been named at right-back in the first XI for the side managed by Sam Allardyce against Leicester City in the Premier League tonight.

The 29-year-old did play 58 minutes for Everton’s Under-23’s in a 3-0 win over Portsmouth last week.

To mark the occasion, Everton have placed flags on the seats of their stadium for the return of the Killybegs native.

Welcome Back Seamus…
