Ronald Koeman has led an Everton delegation to visit Seamus Coleman in Ireland.
The Blues’ manager was joined by captain Phil Jagielka, fitness coach Jan Kluitenberg and head of medical services Matt Connery on the trip to Killybeggs.
Coleman is currently recuperating in his home town following an horrific double leg break on international duty that will sideline him for up to six months.
Everton’s quartet also passed on a number of get-well cards and messages of support from supporters and other fans since his season-ending injury.
“We made the visit to show our support for Seamus, the support of his teammates and the support he has from all Evertonians,” said Koeman.
“Every player in these circumstances needs this level of support to recover well.
“Seamus is positive and he is feeling strong. He is really grateful for all of the messages he has received from Everton fans and from people all over the world.
“Before he comes back to start his rehabilitation [at Everton], he will spend up to 10 more days at home in Killybegs before starting out on his recovery from the injury.”
Jagielka added: “We had a really good chat with Seamus and it was great to see him in such good spirits.
“He was smiling and feeling positive, which is all we can ask for. He knows we are all here to help him along the way.”
