Coleman, Idah and Duffy out of Republic of Ireland squad to face England

Republic of Ireland captain Seamus Coleman has been ruled out of his side’s upcoming Nations League fixtures against Finland and England next week.

Coleman sustained a foot injury in Ireland’s Nations League defeat to the Three Lions in September and has made just two appearances in all competitions for Everton this term.

Sean Dyche confirmed in the lead up to the Toffees’ goalless draw with West Ham at the weekend that the 36-year-old was now struggling with a minor hamstring issue.

Norwich City defender Shane Duffy and Celtic forward Adam Idah have also withdrawn from Heimir Hallgrimsson’s squad, despite featuring for their clubs at the weekend.

Since sealing a permanent move to Celtic after a successful loan spell last season, Idah has netted five goals in 15 appearances for Brendan Rodgers’ side in all competitions.
