Everton winger Coleman happy to do any job for Trap

Everton winger Seamus Coleman says he'll play anywhere for Republic of Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni.

He admits his international manager views him more as a midfield man because of his impressive performances on the right-side in the blue shirt of Everton - and that he is unlikely to get the nod for the right-back slot.

He said: "That's where I have been playing for Everton last season and at the start of this season, so I would imagine that's where he sees me.

"You have always got to have a bit of hope, but more than likely I would imagine it would be Stephen Kelly and John O'Shea.

"But I can't really complain there, there's a lot of Premier League experience there. But hopefully I will be involved in some way because it's such a massive game for everyone."
