- 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 |
Final Thoughts
Given the lack of credible news reporting supporting the claim and the direct statements and coverage contradicting it, the “suspension” appears to be incorrect. Seamus Coleman remains part of Everton’s squad, with his role evolving due to his physical condition and leadership importance.
