Sean Dyche doubts defender Seamus Coleman will play for Everton again this season after being stretchered off in Monday's 2-2 draw at Leicester City.
The Blues' skipper sustained ligament damage after a coming together with midfielder Boubakary Soumare shortly before half-time but revealed on Thursday morning, via a social media post, that he had avoided damage to his anterior cruciate ligament.
Speaking to reporters at Finch Farm ahead of the Blues' upcoming Premier League game against Brighton & Hove Albion, Dyche said of the injury: "It's still going to keep him out. It's still a ligament injury that needs sorting out, but everyone feared it was his ACL, and it's not."
