Everton manager Sam Allardyce hails 'super human' Seamus Coleman after rapid recovery from horrific leg break

Everton manager Sam Allardyce has described Seamus Coleman as 'super human' after he made his return to the starting line-up following 10 months out.

The full-back had been sidelined since suffering a broken leg in a challenge while on international duty with the Republic of Ireland in March last year but featured for the full 90 minutes in the Premier League win over Leicester on Wednesday.

Allardyce said at his Friday morning press conference: 'I don't go this far normally but it was almost super human.
