Everton's Yannick Bolasie shows his recovery from injury in sprint against ex-Olympian Darren Campbell

Yannick Bolasie stepped up his bid for fitness with a series of sprinting drills alongside former Olympian Darren Campbell.

The Congolese Everton winger has been sidelined with a cruciate knee ligament injury and torn meniscus that he picked up in a game against Manchester United on December 4, 2016.

But judging by his performance against the former Olympic gold medallist from Moss Side, Manchester, he cannot be far off his expected progression.

Bolasie expects to return to first-team action before Christmas this year and is slowly stepping up the speed at which he is taking part in sprinting drills.
