Seamus Coleman role in survival fight explained as Sean Dyche gives honest view on Everton future

Seamus Coleman's focus is firmly on Everton's Premier League survival and not his long-term future, according to Sean Dyche.

The defender is out of contract in the summer and is not expected to play again this season after suffering ligament damage in the game with Leicester City. Initial analysis revealed the knee issue was not as severe as first feared and he is expected to see a specialist on Friday for an opinion on whether surgery will be the best pathway for his recovery.

While his future may be unresolved, Dyche said the current focus of both the club captain and Everton was on Premier League survival and that he had no doubt the 34-year-old would play a major role in the coming weeks, even if he is unable to play.
