SEAMUS COLEMAN NEWS

Offered new contract Coleman (knee) has been given a contract offer by Everton, the club announced Friday.

Impact Coleman suffered a long-term knee injury that required surgery in mid-May. Still, the left-back is expected to be ready for the 2023-24 campaign where he figures to compete with Nathan Patterson for the starting job, assuming he signs his contract offer. Considering Coleman has been with the club since signing from Sligo Rovers back in January 2019, the Irishman and Toffees' captain can probably play for the club as long as he would like at this point.

Undergoes knee procedure Coleman had surgery on his knee and is officially shut down for the rest of the 2022-23 campaign. Manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "Seamus did have an operation and it has gone w...

Impact Coleman will be out of contract with the club this summer but it seems the door remains open for the longest-tenured Everton player to remain with the club heading into the 2022-23 campaign. Under previous manager Frank Lampard, the veteran Coleman was the reserve choice behind youngster Nathan Patterson. Injuries to both right-backs kept the competition going all season long with Coleman seeming the preference under Dyche.

Unlikely to return this season Coleman has "ligament" damage in his knee and is "unlikely" to return this season, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact This isn't too surprising for Coleman, who likely suffered some kind of knee sprain even if it didn't damage his ACL. He's on the last year of his latest contract with Everton, so a decision will have to be made on his future. He's good to have around as a veteran, but coming off another knee injury and on the verge of turning 35, his time at the club may be over with Nathan Patterson waiting to takeover. Even though Patterson opened the season as the starter, he eventually got hurt and Dyche has preferred Coleman at right-back of late resulting in another 20-start campaign for Coleman.

ACL still intact Coleman has no ACL damage and hopes to "be back soon" after leaving on a stretcher in Monday's match.

Impact It's at least one bit of good news for Coleman, who went down from an awkward challenge Monday. Still, it seems like he'll have a knee sprain at minimum, which could lead to the end of the season for him. If that's the case, it's likely Nathan Patterson and Ben Godfrey will compete for minutes at right-back, depending on the health of the latter.

Stretchered off Monday Coleman was taken off the pitch on a stretcher against Leicester City on Monday.

Impact Coleman's right leg was placed in an air cast which certainly wasn't a good sign for the veteran right-back. The Irishman had just returned to the squad following a three-match absence with a hamstring problem and may be facing the end of his 2022-23 campaign depending on the severity of the injury. With Coleman coming off, Nathan Patterson took his spot on the pitch and could feature for the Toffees moving forward.

Back in starting XI Coleman (hamstring) will be in the starting XI against Leicester City on Monday.

Impact Coleman returns to the pitch after missing the Toffees' last three matches due to his hamstring problem. In his last five outings, the veteran right-back recorded two shots (one on target), five crosses (two accurate) and 11 clearances. While Coleman is unlikely to generate a ton of offensive production, he should rack up plenty of defensive stats and could add some crosses as well.

Targetting Monday return Coleman (hamstring) is hoping to be back on the pitch against Leicester City on Monday.

Impact Coleman would be a much-needed boost to the Everton back line after Ben Godfrey was clearly out of his element filling in at right-back versus Newcastle United on Thursday. For his part, Coleman has recorded five crosses (two accurate), 11 clearances and 10 tackles (seven won) in his last five appearances. If given the green light to play, Coleman figures to be a near-lock for the starting XI.

Not included in squad Coleman (hamstring) was left off the match-day squad against Newcastle United on Thursday.

Impact Coleman was expected to be a late test ahead of this clash with Newcastle, so it could be an indication he'll be ready in time to face Leicester City on Monday. In his last five contests, the right-back notched two shots (one on target), five crosses (two accurate) and 10 tackles (seven won). Once cleared to play, Coleman should reclaim his spot in the starting XI from Ben Godfrey.

APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Late test Thursday Coleman (hamstring) is back on the grass and considered a late test for Thursday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Coleman has been out since the April 8 contest and is unlikely to start Thursday, given the nature of the injury and his age. There's no reason to push him back in the squad too soon from a muscle injury, so it's expected Dyche will go with Ben Godfrey or Nathan Patterson at right-back even if he would prefer to have Coleman there.

Out another match Coleman (hamstring) will remain out for Saturday's trip to Crystal Palace, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact There's a chance Coleman will miss the next few weeks with this injury, but Dyche will never reveal that information, so it's a game-by-game basis. Ben Godfrey and Vitaliy Mykolenko started at full-back the loss against Fulham, though Nathan Patterson is itching to get back into the fold.

APRIL 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out with hamstring injury Coleman will "need a bit of time" with a hamstring injury suffered last weekend, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact This injury opens up time for Nathan Patterson to return to the XI, as he's been back from injury for almost a month. Dyche had simply preferred Coleman at right-back, as he'd started every game since Patterson's initial injury back in January. Coleman seems likely to miss a minimum of one week and if it's a hamstring pull, that could be extended to closer to a month. Of note, Ben Godfrey could move to right-back, as well, meaning Vitaliy Mykolenko would then start at left-back.

Comes off injured vs. Man United Coleman was subbed out of Saturday's match against Manchester United in the 87th minute after suffering an injury, with Everton manager Sean Dyche saying after the game that "We ha...

Impact Coleman was having a solid game on both sides of the ball, making two clearances and winning two of two tackles from right-back while also taking a shot on target and creating a chance in the 2-0 defeat against United, but he will have to be assessed before next weekend's clash against Fulham, with Nathan Patterson able to fill in at the position if necessary.

APRIL 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fine after injury scare Coleman started and played the full 90 for Ireland in Monday's match against France.

Impact Coleman was thought to pick up a thigh injury in Ireland's first match of the international break, but he got the start Monday and even went 90 against Kylian Mbappe and company. He's started the last 10 league matches for Everton, though the return of Nathan Patterson could change those regular minutes.

Will begin on the bench versus Aston Villa Coleman (groin) is available off the bench for Saturday's game against Aston Villa.

Impact Coleman is good to go following a groin injury, but the coach decided to limit his minutes in his first official game back. Nathan Patterson is manning the right flank.

Should be option Saturday Coleman (groin) is expected to be an option Saturday against Aston Villa after playing 45 minutes last week with the club's U21s. He was not mentioned by manager Frank Lampard in F...

Impact Coleman likely got in a full week of training, so he should be fit enough to start if that's what Frank Lampard decides. Nathan Patterson has played well in limited action over the last month, but Coleman remains the first option for the Toffees and is expected to move back into the XI when ready.

Completes half with U21's Coleman played 45 minutes with the Everton U21's in the Premier League 2 on Friday.

Impact Coleman is continuing to work his way back to first team play after suffering a groin injury. While he won't be back for the first match of the season, playing a half with the U21's is certainly a step in the right direction.

AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Set for U21 minutes Coleman (groin) is working up his fitness and will play with the U21s on Friday, making him unavailable for Saturday's opener, according to manager Frank Lampard.

Impact Coleman is probably another couple weeks away from a return to the squad unless he makes a really quick return following minutes with the U21s. He hasn't been playing for most of summer after undergoing groin surgery and youngster Nathan Patterson figures to get a couple starts to open the season, at a minimum.

AUGUST 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes surgery Coleman is not training yet with Everton during preseason as he is recovering from a groin surgery he underwent in the summer, manager Frank Lampard said last week.

Impact Coleman might miss the first few games of the upcoming season before he can be fit enough to play. Twenty-year-old Nathan Patterson could take over for him at right-back until he's healthy again.

JULY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starts all 30 appearances Coleman started all 30 of his appearances for Everton this season, the most EPL matches the defender has logged in his time with the club.

Impact Coleman recorded one goal on eight shots (one on target), 41 crosses (13 accurate) and 74 clearances this year. While the club captain won't offer much in the way of fantasy value next season, he will likely remain a fixture in the starting XI, though youngster Nathan Patterson could push for more opportunities.
