Seamus Coleman looking forward to 'another tough journey' in first interview since leg-break

“I’ve had tough journeys before in the past. It hasn’t been a smooth journey to play for Everton and to captain my country.”

Seamus Coleman has said a part of his “fighter” personality is looking forward to the challenge of rehabilitating his broken leg, writes Stephen Barry.

The Republic of Ireland captain's first interview since Neil Taylor's reckless tackle was coincidentally released five minutes after the Wales right-back's two-game ban was announced.
