Everton fullback Seamus Coleman says his recovery from a double leg fracture is on track.

Coleman has spoken of his rehab after returning to Merseyside to continue his recovery.

"Progress is being made," he said. I'm doing all that I'm being asked of so far and I just have to keep going that way. There is no end date - I'm just wanting to tick the boxes early on and keep improving.

"I've never been a big fan of lifting weights but it's something I've had to do a little bit more now I'm injured.

"Another big part has been my diet. I enjoyed my first month back home without worrying about diet but when I came back to work I cracked on and had to watch what I was doing.

"I went away to Majorca for a few days (at the very start of June) and let myself go a bit in terms of dessert!

"But I do have to look after myself. This is my job and I need to make sure I'm in good shape. When I come back, I don't want to have to chase myself.

"For me it's important to stay positive. Positive thinking helps a lot. I'm going to continue in that way."
