# Everton: Fans hail Seamus Coleman return

**Many Everton fans have been left to hail some early team news ahead of their home game versus Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday evening.**

Speaking to evertontv (via the official website of the Goodison Park faithful), Carlo Ancelotti has claimed that he Republic of Ireland international [“will be back”](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2062978/ancelotti-compares-fantastic-everton-captain-coleman-to-trio-of-greats) to play against Sean Dyche’s team at the weekend.

The Merseyside club greatly missed their captain in their last match, a 2-0 away loss at the hands of Chelsea, a side with whom they are currently fighting for to finish in the UEFA Champions League qualification spots come the end of the 2020/21 term.

Coleman will offer a much more attacking threat than Mason Holgate, who has been filling in for the 32-year-old at right-back and is predominantly a central defender by trade.

Nonetheless, it will be great to see him back on the football pitch for the Toffees once more.
