Well I guess it is a nice break for Coleman (no pun intended!!).

Only saw the banner from the weekend now.

He has lost that frustration and is now ready to start his recovery. He will come back in a week and will start to recover, he is that type of professional. Of course, it was a big disappointment for everybody but he's put that away, is now strong and looking positive and ready to start again.

Two game suspension for Taylor for the tackle that broke Coleman's leg: http://www.faw.cymru/en/news/neil-ta...d-two-matches/
Misses Serbia away in June and Austria at home in September
Should have been at least three IMO

Wales will probably end up being depleted for the game we could do with them taking something from.

The defender returned this week to USM Finch Farm to begin the early stages of rehabilitation after suffering a double leg break while captaining the Republic of Ireland in a World Cup qualifier against Wales in Dublin on 25 March.

That's Mullaghmore, Sligo (and a faint outline of the north Mayo coast) in the far distance whilst the stunning cliffs of Sliabh Liag are only a further half an hour down the road towards Glencolumbkille:

I know I’ll be back, I won’t be afraid of my first tackle or anything like that - that’s not a problem for me, psychologically.

“I think the time will be the [difficult] one for me, because you’re used to playing every week and training every day. But it’s part and parcel of it and you just have to get on with it.

The contract offer was made before the injury and was due to be signed after the international break, but that the offer stood in spite of the leg-break is still a real display of confidence from Everton in a full recovery. Good to see.

Phil Neville had some great praise for Coleman on Monday evening's Off the Ball: https://www.balls.ie/football/phil-n...everton-365122

I marked Gareth Bale one game, and I got the man of the match award, and how I got that and they didn't give it to Seamus I don't know. I never once had a 1 v 1 because Seamus kept coming back covering for me all the time. He's a brilliant, brilliant player.

I just hope that he keeps positive, which I know he will, because he loves football and this would have hurt him and hit him hard, but I think he's come back bigger and stronger.

It must have been on the flight over there, seven or eight-hour flight over there, that it got infected, 'cause when I got off the plane on the other side it was agony.

I made [the medics] aware of it, they kept an eye on it and it got worse and worse. I remember not being fit to sleep or anything... I got stuff taken out of it over there and it was still sore. Came back after the trip and had to get a small operation on it. It wasn’t until maybe a month, six weeks after that, I was told, ‘We were concerned, you could have lost your big toe.’ That would have been the end of that.

That was on the Irish Man Abroad podcast which came out this week.

Great listen for anyone interest. Hour long interview of Seamus. One qualifier though is that it was recorded before the injury.

All depends on complexity (or lack thereof) with the breaks of course. They'll be well into pre-season 4 months from now. I wouldn't rule him out of at least joining it at some point.
