Martinez says Seamus Coleman could make Everton’s cup date with Man United

Everton manager Roberto Martinez hasn’t ruled out a return to action at the weekend for Irish international Seamus Coleman.

The full-back misses tonight’s Merseyside derby with a hamstring injury but could be back for Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United, though a final decision will only be made in the coming days.

“Seamus Coleman will definitely be out for the derby,” said Martinez, “but it’s too early to make a decision before the weekend.”
