Seamus Coleman is facing a lengthy stint on the sidelines with an ankle injury in a blow for Everton and the Republic of Ireland.
Everton right-back Seamus Coleman will be out for "several weeks" with an ankle injury, manager Ronald Koeman has confirmed.
Koeman is also without star forward Romelu Lukaku (heel) for Saturday's Premier League opener against Tottenham at Goodison Park and, ahead of his first game in charge, the former Southampton boss stated Coleman was set for a lengthy lay-off.
"We're disappointed Romelu can't start today and Seamus will be out for several weeks," he told Everton's official website.
