Seamus Coleman has been left out the Republic of Ireland squad for World Cup qualifiers against Hungary and Armenia next month. The 36-year-old defender missed the June friendlies with Senegal and Luxembourg through injury but has been an unused substitute in both of Everton's Premier League games this season. Despite his return to fitness, coach Heimir Hallgrimsson has opted against an international recall for his squad captain.

Breaking | Seámus Coleman has been left out of the Ireland squad for next month's opening World Cup qualifying double-header, as Heimir Hallgrimsson named his 23-man squad this morning. The Ireland boss said in May that he was hopeful the Everton captain would return for the crunch fixtures against Hungary and Armenia, but despite now being fit, there is no place in the squad for the 73-times capped defender.
