Everton defender Seamus Coleman is delighted seeing fellow Republic of Ireland U21 teammate Shane Duffy make his comeback for the reserves this week.
Duffy was expected to be out for six months but displayed remarkable powers of recovery to help an Everton XI to a 2-0 win over Coleman's former club at the Showgrounds.
"It's brilliant to see Duffy back," said Coleman, who has picked up the FAI Under 21 Player of he Year Award.
"I think a lot of people actually realise how lucky he is and he was very close to maybe not even being here so he will be counting his lucky stars really."
