Irish concerns for Seamus Coleman as full-back forced off during Chelsea victory

Was it an ankle that kept him out of Gibraltar game or was it hamstring?

'Twas a tight hamstring kept him out: http://www.irishexaminer.com/breakin...nd-694696.html

that hamstring is getting worrying.

hamstring in the late 20s is always am issue hard to shake off. hope he doesn't suffer that problem.

Martinez positive about the outlook (then again, when isn't he?!)

I don't think it looks as bad as we feared once it happened but we'll get more information as the week goes on and we'll see how long a period we're looking at for the two players.

Coleman is recovering well and might be back in action either this weekend or next Tuesday: http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2015/...t-for-ireland/

Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill was handed a timely boost today with the news that Seamus Coleman is recovering well from a hamstring injury he picked up at the weekend.

Full-back Coleman came off in Everton's 3-1 home win over Chelsea last weekend due to hamstring problems and there had been concerns that he could miss Ireland crucial Euro 2016 qualification double header with Germany and Poland.

But speaking on Thursday, Everton manager Martinez said: "We have had positive news. I think it is the least we expected in terms of soft tissue problems.

Midfielder Muhamed Besic picked up a similar injury and Martinez added: "Both injuries are in the hamstring and both are reacting really well to treatment.

"It is difficult to tell how long it is going to take for them to get back, but I think both have got a chance to be involved at the weekend or maybe in the League Cup (when Everton face Reading away on Tuesday).

"I wouldn't rule any of the two out for the next game."

Still out. I hope this isn't going to be one of these career niggling injuries where he misses more games than he plays. Not a huge amount of recovery time to the two big games.

Back in full training but might not make it for Sunday. He will be travelling over though regardless of what Everton say.

Coleman out for a month after injury in tonights game v Man City.

Saw him limp off. Blessing in disguise for us?

Martinez - “Seamus is probably the most serious of the three. He has pulled his calf and that type of injury usually takes three or four weeks to fully recover.”

That occurred to me about McCarthy as well actually. As long as they remain fit when they do return the break could definitely benefit them come the summer you would think.

Coleman's goal against Stoke today to put Everton 2-0 up:

Its a good goal and not the type that you would expect Stoke to concede too easily. Tony Pulis would have a few words to say. Good movement by Everton though.

Goal here from about 1.30

He is 1.77m 5'10 by the way.

First of the season.

Pretty disappointed in Colemans "performance" to be honest. His wife had a daughter last night. Not a son. Not good for Ireland.

A birth that was waiting (9 months) to happen apparently.

Congrats Seamie! :)

Playing wing back today, not overly involved so far.

Edit- not for long, two dumb yellow cards for Mirallas has forced Everton into a change of shape. Stones seems to have gone right back with Coleman ahead of him.

i say on sky sports Coleman seemed to be on the wing with 3 at the back in a 3 5 2.
Anyhow Everton lost as is typical of them.
