Everton boss Dyche concerned Coleman suffered knee injury

Everton captain Seamus Coleman had to come off on a stretcher during their Premier League game on Monday.

The Toffees earned what could be a valuable point against fellow relegation strugglers Leicester City on Monday.

However, the 2-2 draw was marred for the away side by 34-year-old Coleman having to come off after what appeared to be a nasty leg injury.

Post-game, manager Sean Dyche stated: “It's really unfortunate. We're waiting on news, it could be serious, a knee injury. I thought he was terrific."

Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher added his thoughts on the matter, stating: “It's a blow for him. Fingers crossed it's not too serious but it didn't look great.

“It could be a real problem for Everton this season because I felt until he went off the pitch he was the best player on the pitch and the difference he's made to Everton, not just his leadership, people talk about his leadership but his actual energy up and down that right hand side providing energy and an attacking outlet for Everton that hasn't been there the last few weeks.

“Considering what he's done for that football club over the 10-12 years he's been there. One of the best signings probably in Everton's history. There's no doubt they're going to miss him hugely."
