EVERTON MIDFIELDER JAMES McCarthy has confirmed surgery on the double leg break he suffered in the Premier League on Saturday was a success.
McCarthy sustained the injury via a challenge with West Brom striker Salomon Rondon during Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Goodison Park.
But, after going under the knife, the Republic of Ireland international confirmed the surgery had gone well and he will now begin his recovery.
“Just a quick message to say that my operation went well, thanks to all the staff involved!” McCarthy posted on Instagram.
“And a big thanks to all my family, friends and Olivia. Also cheers for all the messages, I appreciate it.”

Trying me best to forget it
Delaney out
I’ll tell you what I remember, the worst football I’ve seen in over a decade. Players not wanting to play for their country because of a little jumped up tw@t of an assistant manager, over priced tickets and then top it all off give McCarthy the job for 2 years and no matter how well he does he is then replaced. Ah what a year
3/10 as if I care.
@Michael Lynch: ditto
What I saw almost put me to sleep.
But most of it we didn’t see as they all seem to be on paid TV.
8/10 remember it all to well :(
Give it up altogether waste of money
