Everton/Ireland defender, Seamus Coleman suffers broken leg in
Republic of Ireland draw
Seamus Coleman succeeded Robbie Keane as captain of the Republic of Ireland team.
Republic of Ireland skipper Seamus Coleman suffered a broken leg in his side's goalless draw with Wales at the Aviva Stadium.
The Everton defender, 28, was given oxygen before being carried off following the challenge with Neil
Taylor, who was sent off.
The incident happened midway through the second half of the important World Cup qualifier.
Republic manager Martin O'Neill said the defender suffered a "bad break".
"Seamus has gone to hospital, it's been confirmed by a doctor that he has broken his leg," added O'Neill.
"Obviously, it's a real blow to him.
He's having the season of a lifetime at club level. He's a big player for us, a great captain with a great character.
"It's a big loss to Everton, a big loss to us. But he'll fight back i hope. It puts things in perspective."
