Everton star Seamus Coleman will be released from hospital on Wednesday.

The Republic of Ireland international underwent surgery on Sunday after suffering a double leg-break under a strong challenge from Wales's Neil Taylor in the 1-1 World Cup qualifying draw between the two countries on Friday.

ROI manager Martin O'Neill, who visited Coleman in hospital on Tuesday said: "Seamus is doing much better today. I went to see him again. He's in better spirits.

"It's as much to do with [the fact that] he has still got the family around - his brother, his wife, his mother and the youngster all keeping him pretty busy. I think he's doing much better now. It's not something you're going to get over in 24 hours, 36 hours. He's in much better spirits.

"He's getting out tomorrow, I think. It's encouraging to see. He's very positive, which I knew he would be. It's a tough injury. Could he get over it? If anybody can quickly, then Seamus can do that."
