- Cahill's comeback on track
Injured Everton midfielder Tim Cahill has confirmed his rehabilitation from foot surgery is progressing as planned.
The Australia international missed the last seven games of the recently completed season after an operation in his homeland, but is confident of being ready for pre-season training and fully fit for the next campaign.
"Everything is going right on schedule," he told the club's official website.
"I have seen the specialists again and they let me go in the swimming pool. I had a long session which was pretty tiring.
"The swelling has gone down and everything looks really good."
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old midfielder believes his injury-ravaged season can still be viewed as a success.
"If I had to sit out a whole season to get the foot right I would have, but I'm very passionate about football and I don't like to sit on the sidelines," he continued.
"I understood what was going to happen.
"I played 20-odd games, scored ten goals, played in UEFA Cup again and helped my club finish in Europe again.
"I've got six years of football left."
