# Severity of Coleman’s injury revealed as defender suffers broken foot

Everton’s Seamus Coleman is set for a stint on the sidelines once again as it is revealed he suffered a broken foot against Wales.

[The Daily Mail reports](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6158123/Seamus-Coleman-suffered-broken-foot-defeat-Wales.html) that the defender has undergone a scan on the injury, with [it already confirmed](https://readeverton.com/2018/09/10/coleman-suffers-ankle-injury-on-international-duty/) that he had suffered a blow against Ryan Giggs’ side, but the damage was not previously known.

It’s another injury setback for Coleman, who was out of the game for 10 months with a broken leg.

The news compiles what was a miserable international break for Ireland, who have seen reports of a bust-up behind the scenes emerged before they fell to a 4-1 defeat against Wales.

Republic of Ireland boss Martin O’Neill has already expressed his desire to have the defender back in the squad as soon as possible.

> He is a great captain, a really great captain. He is inspirational and obviously we hope he is back in time for the games coming up.

Marco Silva now has a decision to make within his defence, with injuries piling up at Goodison Park so early in the season.
