Ireland captain Séamus Coleman has “no chance” of recovering from a hamstring injury for the World Cup qualifier in Azerbaijan on October 9, according to Rafa Benitez.

The Everton boss has been without his club captain for the last three games after Coleman suffered a recurrence of the strain which kept him out of the last international against Serbia.
