Seamus Coleman named in Republic of Ireland squad despite missing last two Everton games

Everton captain Seamus Coleman has been included in the Republic of Ireland squad despite currently being on the sidelines.

The Blues skipper has missed the last two games due to a hamstring problem and it is not yet clear if he will be back in contention for Saturday's game with Manchester United.

Coleman picked up the injury against Liverpool in mid-October but Ireland have included him in their 26-man squad ahead of games with England, Wales and Bulgaria during the next international break.

Ireland are due to face England, in a friendly, on November 12 before Nations League games with Wales, three days later, and Bulgaria on November 18.

Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti is due to offer an update on Coleman's fitness at his pre-match press conference tomorrow.
