(Reuters) - Ireland and Everton defender Seamus Coleman underwent a successful leg operation but it is too early to put a time frame on his recovery, the country's manager Martin O'Neill has said.

Coleman suffered a double leg fracture following a wild challenge by Wales defender Neil Taylor, who was shown a straight red card in the goalless World Cup qualifier at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on Friday.
