Scan has come back and our expert medical dept. think he should be ok with 7-10 days rest.

Hopefully, seeing as he walked off it won't be too bad :(
The veneration of the now mediocre Coleman amongst some sections of the fanbase is one more reason why we are indeed not a truly ambitious club.

He's a mediocre player in a mediocre team. And has been - as we have been - for almost all of his tenure at the club. Any truly technically excellent Everton player over the last 20 years has eventually left for greener pastures (Rooney, Arteta, Lukaku). You could add Richarlison to that list - though he's merely potential at this stage. The likes of Jagielka, Cahill, Baines, and Coleman were good honest pros at their peaks, but none ever scaled the heights at club level and their trophy cabinets tell a tale. Of those, only Baines was technically good. Cahill had an incredible mentality. That's often enough to be successful at international level where success for the vast majority is rarely measured in terms of medals. But technically? Leon Osman was better.
Technical ability is one factor in what makes a top player. Agility, speed, work rate, aggression, intelligence, all other factors, professionalism all combine together.
