Everton Yannick Bolasie has told that he intends to show Toffees supporters ‘what I’m all about’ as he continues his recovery from a knee injury.
Speaking in a live interview, Bolasie says: “I wouldn’t say [the injury] has been a blessing in disguise, but it did give me the chance to work on all areas of my game. It can be boring, but I am getting to the stage where I can jump on a box, volley a ball and do bits like that.
Bolasie is targeting a Toffees return before Christmas, having stepped up his recovery by working on sprinting mechanics with former Olympic gold medalist Darren Campbell.
The 28-year-old says that, after spending a prolonged period working on parts of the games he ignored as a a youngster, he looks forward to coming back fitter and stronger than ever.
“Darren Campbell has helped me out a lot with my sprinting mechanics. These are things I’ve always wanted to do but neglected as I am already fast and strong.
“I’ve gone over one of football’s hardest hurdles. My mentality is strong and the injury has given me the composure I’ve been looking for in the past. Instead of just attacking the byline, I’m getting there and looking up.
“I’m not scared, I’m more aware and thinking about my game – that’s going to help massively. I want to show the Everton fans what I’m really about. I’ve got a chance to come back as the complete package.”
