Sean Dyche fears Seamus Coleman may have suffered a "serious" knee injury during Everton's 2-2 with Leicester on Monday night.
The Everton and Ireland captain looked to be in a lot of pain following a nasty collision with Leicester's Boubakary Soumare in the 43rd minute of the clash at the King Power Stadium.
Soumare went in for a tough tackle on Coleman, and upon impact, it appeared that the Donegal native had badly twisted his knee. Play was immediately called to a halt as Coleman received treatment from medics.

He was then taken off on a stretcher but applauded the travelling fans as he was, while he also handed out instructions to team-mates.
And asked for an update on the defender after the game, Dyche said: "It's really unfortunate. We're waiting on news, it could be serious, a knee injury. I thought he was terrific."
Coleman was replaced by Nathan Patterson in the fifth minute of stoppage time at the end of the first half. And by that point, Everton were 2-1 down after Caglar Soyuncu and Jamie Vardy cancelled out Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s opener from the penalty spot.
However, Alex Iwobi restored parity nine minutes into the second half. The result leaves Everton inside the relegation zone with four games to go.
