This has meant that Coleman has been withdrawn from the Republic of Ireland squad, and is set to return to Everton for further assessment.
Everton return after the international break with a home game against Burnley, but do have a couple of extra days preparation with the fixture not taking place until Monday, September 13.
Coleman has been ever-present in Everton’s opening three Premier League fixtures this season.
The 32-year-old has helped Rafa Benitez pick up seven points and maintain an unbeaten start to his life in the Goodison Park dugout.
