Everton boss Roberto Martinez has revealed that he is hopeful to have Seamus Coleman fit again in the near future.
The 26-year-old has not played since his side's win over Chelsea on September 12 because of a hamstring injury, and he failed a late fitness test ahead of the Merseyside derby.
Coleman is now a doubt to play in the Republic of Ireland's Euro 2016 qualifying matches against Germany and Poland next week.
Martinez told the club's official website: "Seamus was desperate to play today, he's desperate to play for Ireland. Medically he wasn't fit today - we hope to get him on the pitch soon."
Coleman has made five appearances for the Toffees this season.
