Coleman poised to make Everton return in Carabao Cup
Everton club captain Seamus Coleman is poised to make his first appearance of the season as the Toffees travel to Fleetwood in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday. The veteran Republic of Ireland full-back has not featured in the Merseysiders' first three Premier League games after undergoing groin surgery in the summer. The 33-year-old has seen some action with the under-21s side and, after being an unused substitute for the last two first-team matches, is now ready to step up his comeback. "If you look at the squad you can see some players who are ready to come in and play games and Seamus is in that position," said manager Lampard ahead of the second-round trip to Sky Bet League One club Fleetwood. "Off the back of his injury, typical Seamus, he has worked brilliantly to get fit. A game will surely help him."
