Republic of Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson kept Seamus Coleman out of his squad for upcoming Nations League matches against Austria and Kosovo, though the selection was described by the manager as tempting according to BBC Sport. BBC Sport also reported that the defender has not played since June and has taken on a "hybrid role" with the national team. The Independent added that the player has been inactive since departing Everton at the close of last season, a departure that leaves the veteran considering the next steps of his playing career.
