Impact Coleman has been out for a significant period of time and is in doubt for Sunday's clash. After so many weeks on the sideline it was more likely than not that Coleman would be limited for Sunday's trip to Chelsea either way. Nathan Patterson could be in line for more minutes for Sunday's match.

Impact Coleman went the full 90 with the U21 team and is now ready to return to the first team. It's a heavy doubt he will be summoned straight back into the starting XI, and it's even possible he's lost his spot in the starting XI moving forward. Still the club captain is a huge boon as Everton look to manage a 10-point penalty from the Premier League.

Working on fitness Coleman (knee) is continuing working on his fitness and is not too far along from making a return to the pitch, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Coleman could see a return before the end of the month after getting minutes with the youth team while also working on his fitness after missing the last six months with a knee injury. He is still expected to return to a big role, especially after being a regular starter in the defense for the last two campaigns.

Active with youth team Coleman (knee) got the start during Everton's U21 win over Mannsfield Town.

Impact Coleman continues to work his way back from a long-term knee problem, making just his second appearance with the youth setup since 2011/12. The veteran right-back has yet to get on the pitch for the senior team this season but appears to be trending in the right direction. With the international break around the corner, Coleman could be ready for the squad versus Manchester United on Nov. 26.

Impact Coleman is inching closer to a return to the senior team after missing the first two months with a knee injury. If all goes well after playing for the U21 side, the midfielder could make his season debut before the end of November. He had started 20 of the 23 games played last campaign, totaling a goal while averaging less than two tackles per contest.

In full training Coleman (knee) is back in full team training but isn't ready for Sunday's trip to West Ham, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Coleman's recovery is coming along well and the fact he's in full team training could indicate a return is coming sooner rather than later. The soonest Coleman could return should be before the November international break, a great sign since his original target was reportedly in December.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back on grass Coleman (knee) returned to the grass and will hope to ramp up training in the next month, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Coleman probably still has another month to go, as he's only just back on grass and will likely be limited to individual work for the next couple weeks. From there, he'll need to get back his fitness in full training and given his time away, that will take another couple weeks. And while that happens, the hope is that his knee feels fine and that there are no setbacks in his recovery.

Impact Coleman could benefit from the international break, though the club hasn't provided a specific recovery timeline. Even once given the all-clear, the veteran right-back will likely have to make some appearances off the bench first before getting a shot at the starting XI over Ashley Young.

Still not training with group Coleman (knee) is on the grass but not training with the group, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Coleman is edging closer to a return to training, but he's likely another couple weeks away from a full return.

Continues recovery on pitch Coleman trained individually this week and continues his recovery from knee surgery underwent in May.

Impact Coleman likely has another month on the sideline, as he's been training in limited sessions for about the past month. Once in full training, he made need multiple weeks to get back his fitness to be able to play in the Premier League. At a minimum, he'll still likely be out until October if not more.

Set to miss 6-8 weeks Colman (knee) is set to miss the next 6-8 weeks, ruling him out for the month of September. "It was a significant injury but I am recovering well, hitting all the targets so far, b...

Impact Colman's injury turned out worse than expected, ruling him out for the next few weeks with the knee injury. He has already missed three months of action and is set to miss another one while he continues to recover. This also rules him out of the upcoming Euro qualifiers with Ireland in September. Nathan Patterson will likely remain at right back and could keep that starting spot, depending on his fitness once he returns to action.

AUGUST 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sill out Coleman (knee) will not be an option for Sunday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Coleman is still not fit to return to the pitch and will remain on the sidelines with a knee injury. Nathan Patterson has emerged as the new favorite for the right back position, dropping the defender in the depth chart for the time being.

AUGUST 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially ruled out Saturday Coleman (knee), as expected, won't be in the squad to face Fulham on Saturday.

Impact Coleman is on track in his recovery but has yet to rejoin first-team training, primarily getting work off the pitch. At this point, the veteran right-back should still be considered out indefinitely, with Nathan Patterson filling in for the Irishman. Even once back to full fitness, Coleman could still find himself serving as a substitute behind the youngster.

Impact Coleman continues to recover from a long-term knee injury, and hasn't suffered any setbacks. The wing-back was originally feared to have torn his ACL but tests revealed the injury was less serious than originally feared. A return for the Premier League opener, an Aug. 12 clash with Fulham, is unlikely for the veteran.

AUGUST 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Signs new one-year deal Coleman (knee) agreed to terms on a new one-year contract with Everton on Thursday.

Impact Coleman sustained a significant knee injury at the end of the 2022-23 campaign, which led to some speculation that he might opt to end his playing career. Instead, the Toffees' captain will be back for another year with the club. The right-back is expected to be ready for the upcoming season, though he will face a challenge for the starting job from youngster Nathan Patterson (hamstring).

JUNE 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Offered new contract Coleman (knee) has been given a contract offer by Everton, the club announced Friday.

Impact Coleman suffered a long-term knee injury that required surgery in mid-May. Still, the left-back is expected to be ready for the 2023-24 campaign where he figures to compete with Nathan Patterson for the starting job, assuming he signs his contract offer. Considering Coleman has been with the club since signing from Sligo Rovers back in January 2019, the Irishman and Toffees' captain can probably play for the club as long as he would like at this point.

Undergoes knee procedure Coleman had surgery on his knee and is officially shut down for the rest of the 2022-23 campaign. Manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "Seamus did have an operation and it has gone w...

Impact Coleman will be out of contract with the club this summer but it seems the door remains open for the longest-tenured Everton player to remain with the club heading into the 2022-23 campaign. Under previous manager Frank Lampard, the veteran Coleman was the reserve choice behind youngster Nathan Patterson. Injuries to both right-backs kept the competition going all season long with Coleman seeming the preference under Dyche.

MAY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to return this season Coleman has "ligament" damage in his knee and is "unlikely" to return this season, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact This isn't too surprising for Coleman, who likely suffered some kind of knee sprain even if it didn't damage his ACL. He's on the last year of his latest contract with Everton, so a decision will have to be made on his future. He's good to have around as a veteran, but coming off another knee injury and on the verge of turning 35, his time at the club may be over with Nathan Patterson waiting to takeover. Even though Patterson opened the season as the starter, he eventually got hurt and Dyche has preferred Coleman at right-back of late resulting in another 20-start campaign for Coleman.

MAY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

ACL still intact Coleman has no ACL damage and hopes to "be back soon" after leaving on a stretcher in Monday's match.

Impact It's at least one bit of good news for Coleman, who went down from an awkward challenge Monday. Still, it seems like he'll have a knee sprain at minimum, which could lead to the end of the season for him. If that's the case, it's likely Nathan Patterson and Ben Godfrey will compete for minutes at right-back, depending on the health of the latter.

MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stretchered off Monday Coleman was taken off the pitch on a stretcher against Leicester City on Monday.

Impact Coleman's right leg was placed in an air cast which certainly wasn't a good sign for the veteran right-back. The Irishman had just returned to the squad following a three-match absence with a hamstring problem and may be facing the end of his 2022-23 campaign depending on the severity of the injury. With Coleman coming off, Nathan Patterson took his spot on the pitch and could feature for the Toffees moving forward.

MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in starting XI Coleman (hamstring) will be in the starting XI against Leicester City on Monday.

Impact Coleman returns to the pitch after missing the Toffees' last three matches due to his hamstring problem. In his last five outings, the veteran right-back recorded two shots (one on target), five crosses (two accurate) and 11 clearances. While Coleman is unlikely to generate a ton of offensive production, he should rack up plenty of defensive stats and could add some crosses as well.
