There are less than two months to go until the Republic of Ireland get their Euro 2016 campaign underway at the Stade de France.
That should mean that Seamus Coleman will have adequate time to recover from the hamstring injury he picked up during Everton’s Premier League clash with Southampton on Saturday afternoon.
Coleman was replaced by debutant Callum Connolly after 54 minutes and it has certainly made some Irish fans nervous about how much preparation the full back will have ahead of this summer.
At the time of writing, the extent of the injury to the Irish right back is unknown but Ireland boss Martin O’Neill will not have enjoyed the sight of one of his key players limping out of action towards the end of the season.
Another worry is the fact that Coleman has had a history of hamstring injuries and it would not be surprising to see the Donegal man kept out of action for Wednesday’s Merseyside derby and next weekend’s FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United.
