After what turned out to be an awful week for Irish football, Everton Football Club have offered a little something to raise the spirits of all Irish fans who have put searching for flights to Russia on hold.
After photos emerged of Coleman back at Everton training in Finch Farm doing rehabilitation work in August, many had hoped that a return to playing may not be as far off as first feared, but there was still quite a way to go.
Today, it looks as if things are progressing well for the Killybegs man as images of him participating in ball work at Everton's training ground have emerged, much to the delight of the club's fans. We're sure our readers will share the sentiment.
Great to see, here's hoping he can continue to step up the rehabilitation and we see him back in the Premier League before the year is up.
Of course, it's not just Irish fans who were delighted by these images, the Everton fans were quick to express their glee too.

There still isn't a date on his return, and not rushing anything is an important part of the process, but this is another big step on the road to recovery and we're delighted to see it's all going to plan so far.
Keep going Seamus!
