Everton's Yannick Bolasie can't wait to play alongside Wayne Rooney

Bolasie suffered a very serious knee injury last season, limiting him to just 15 appearances for Everton after his big-money move from Crystal Palace, but after two successful operations he is expected to be back fit for the 'Toffees' before Christmas.

The £25million man can't wait to get back playing and says that he's still the same player he was pre-injury. 'When you get injured, straight away you think it might affect your game. But now, as I'm coming back and my leg is strong, it's not changed anything. I've still got all the stuff that I had", he said.

Bolasie is looking forward to playing with Wayne Rooney, who returned to his boyhood club earlier this summer. 'He's a nice guy and he's happy to be back. I don't know what it was like at United but he's buzzing', he added.
