Everton
football club body has a protection programme which enables teams to
claim up to £112,731 (€143,836) per week of a player’s wages if he is
injured while on international duty.
Seamus
Coleman is understood to earn around £45,000 a week at the Toffees and
could be out for as long as a year after fracturing both the tibia and
fibula bones in his lower-right leg.
Seamus Coleman underwent successful surgery in Dublin on Saturday
following a challenge from Wales’ left-back Neil Taylor, who was shown a
straight red card for the challenge, during the Republic of Ireland’s
0-0 draw against Wales in World Cup qualifying.
FIFA’s
Club Protection Programme was set up in 2012 after mounting pressure
from clubs trying to claim compensation for players being injured on
international duty.
Club’s
pay an excess fee equivalent to the value of four weeks’ wages and can
then be covered for the duration of a player’s absence, up to the value
of £100m.
That value, however, covers all players injured on international duty over the course of the international calendar year.
