Coleman is expected to leave hospital on Wednesday as he starts the process of working his way back from a double leg fracture.

O'Neill said: "Seamus is doing much better today. I went to see him again. He's in better spirits.

"It's as much to do with he's still got the family around - his brother, his wife, his mother and the youngster all keeping him pretty busy. I think he's doing much better now. It's not something you're going to get over in 24 hours, 36 hours. He's in much better spirits.

"He's getting out tomorrow, I think. It's encouraging to see. He's very positive, which I knew he would be. It's a tough injury. Could he get over it? If anybody can quickly, then Seamus can do that."
