 Yannick Bolasie back in the gym as Everton star continues long road to recoveryThe £28m winger's season was cruelly curtailed back in December after he sustained a serious, long-term knee injuryYannick Bolasie took a big step forward on the road to recovery on Thursday as he returned to the gym less than two months after suffering a long-term knee injury. The Everton winger had his season cruelly curtailed on December 4 after he sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury in the 1-1 draw with Manchester United on December 4. Speaking last month at the Blues GM, manager Ronald Koeman said that the injury could keep the former Crystal Palace wideman on the shelf for 12 months. Koeman said: "He's, at the moment, optimistic. It is a long-term injury, 10, 11, 12 months. "He will come back, he has a strong mentality." However, Bolasie returned to the gym on Thursday as he pushed on in his bid to return to action. "The picture all Everton fans want to see @yannickbolasie fighting on his road to recovery. See our exclusive rehab interview soon!" tweeted @dressingroomdj on Thursday afternoon. Bolasie appeared in good spirits as he posted a video onto his Instagram account of him back in the gym. It's unlikely that the 27-year-old will appear this campaign, but his return to the gym will delight Koeman, who was prepared to shell out £28m to land him from Crystal Palace last summer. Liv Echo |

Everton winger Yannick Bolasie is using his childhood idol Ronaldo as inspiration as he continues his long recovery from a season-ending injury.
Bolasie faces the prospect of another 10 months on the sidelines after rupturing his cruciate ligament against Manchester United in December.
However, Bolasie is determined to remain a positive outlook throughout his recovery and sees Ronaldo as the perfect example to follow.
The former Brazil international came back from a number of serious knee injuries to win both the World Cup and Ballon d'Or in 2002.
'I've seen many people go down with this injury and never come back. You can only stay positive and bounce back stronger.
'That's life. It happens to the best. My idol Ronaldo suffered a serious knee injury three times, but he still came back and did the business. That's my motivation.'
While Bolasie admits is keen to return to the pitch as soon as possible, the Congo international knows he can't rush his recovery.
'I need to be mentally strong to get through the different stages of rehab,' he said
'It's a slow process. But I know when I'll be back, so it's OK and I'm handling it really well.
'I've got my family around me and that makes everything a lot easier.'
