Question

We count on their coming back in a few days.
Wе count on thеіr comіng back aftеr sеvеral days.
&
We count on their coming back in a few days.

What is the difference?

Answer

There is no difference in the message understand. The first example reads more fluently, however.

Answer

it seems we don't say "we counted on their coming back in a few days", whereas "after a few days" seems to work better in past tense.
