Republic of Ireland captain Seamus Coleman has been ruled out of his side's upcoming Nations League fixtures against Finland and England next week due to a foot injury. This decision comes after Coleman had already made only two appearances for Everton this season, highlighting the ongoing challenges he faces with his fitness.
Sean Dyche confirmed that the 36-year-old Coleman is now struggling with a minor hamstring issue, raising concerns about his overall condition. The withdrawal of other key players like Shane Duffy and Adam Idah further complicates the team's preparations for these critical matches.
Despite featuring for their clubs recently, both Duffy and Idah have also withdrawn from the squad, which illustrates the unexpected challenges faced during the international break. This includes Idah's commendable performance at Celtic, where he scored five goals in 15 appearances, showing his potential yet still not enough to secure his place in the national team.
Ryan Manning, Jake O'Brien, and Matt Doherty are set to join the squad for the UEFA Nations League fixtures, indicating an urgent need for replacements as Ireland prepares to face Finland and England in the next week.
