- Current match previews and lineup predictions show Seamus Coleman on the bench, suspended. For instance, one predicted XI lists him among the substitutes.
- Leeds vs Everton coverage doesn’t mention any suspension; rather, injuries (like Branthwaite’s) are the known issues.
2. Coleman’s situation—long-serving captain, injury-affected season
- Coleman has had a very limited season due to injuries, making only a handful of appearances.
- During Everton’s final match at Goodison Park (May 18, 2025), Coleman started but had to be substituted after just 17–18 minutes due to a thigh strain. Moyes described the situation as unfortunate and expressed sympathy for him.
3. Moyes confirms Coleman is staying with Everton
- Despite his injuries, David Moyes has made it clear that Coleman will remain with the club next season. That may include a playing or possibly a dual player–coach role, given his leadership value.

| He’s unavailable for Leeds match | Not suspended; just not in starting XI, likely due to injury management |
| His future at Everton is uncertain | Moyes insists he will remain in some capacity next season |
