The international break is still going on and the sooner it comes to an end the better because it does drag on.
Certainly, I don’t particularly enjoy it and I know that I am not alone – especially given the amount of times our players get injured on these breaks.
Seamus Coleman seems the most unlucky, too, and the only reason he’s not playing for Ireland right now is because he got injured with them, again, last time around.
He’s still travelled with them to show support, though, and many of our fans over the weekend issued messages hoping that he would not get injured:

Ireland played out a boring 0-0 draw with Denmark earlier on in the break and face Wales next as they look for revenge for the heavy defeat that they suffered last month against them.
Thankfully, though, Seamus will be well out of harm’s way – you’d hope at the very least…
