Wales national team captain Chris Coleman has issued his backing to out of form captain Ashley Williams.
Everton have been in poor form this season and have taken just 11 points from their opening 11 games in the Premier League this season. They were also knocked out from the Europa League last season following their defeat against Lyon.
Williams has been one of the Toffees players who has endured intense criticism for his performances and he was eventually dropped from his teams match against Watford last weekend.
Coleman has however issued his backing to the veteran and is expected to use him during friendlies against France on Friday and against Panama four days later.
“If you play long enough and play enough games you are going to have a bad patch,” Coleman said.”Your character is what makes you stronger and there is no doubt in my mind he will come through it.”Look where Everton are, they need fighters and they have got one in him for sure.”
