Well yes, but you can reduce that chance by playing less games overall, A.K.A. retire from internationals.
Are you intentionally being a dope about this

First of all, I'm not a dope, so I would kindly ask you to not refer me to one. And secondly you don't get injured just from internationals he is also playing for us, which enhances the risk. So maybe look at the club if you want someone to blame

But you do break both bones in your lower leg playing International football. He signed the contract, if the club were begging him he'd do it for free if he was such a "loyal servant" as the horrible term constantly gets bandied about.
Didn't he do the same playing for us??
For free? Would you do that? Seriously?

No, I wouldn't, because I'm not some martyr for the club like people paint him out to be. I'd retire on my millions gracefully. He was a terrific player for us, one of the club's best ever signings in history, but he's done. It's time to let go. He might have the odd good appearance for us, and he'll give 100%, but he's going to be a liability for availability.
How are you not understanding this?
Play 1 game per week = less chance of injury.
Play 1 PL game + 2 internationals = more chance of injury.

I'm giving up.
I gey that, but he's not only getting injured from Internationals is he. Yes, I agree they obviously enhance the chances. But it's not like he's going into a game wanting to get injured is it?
Wtf are you even on about?
Because you said it was his fault ? You ok like?
After talking to you, no. Lost about a billion brain cells.

Lots of players pack up their international careers when they hit their 30`s as they know that doing so will help to keep them playing at a high level for their clubs and prolong their time in the game by a couple of years. Most will have had a decade of international experience and by then they are just redoing what they have done already in their international career. At this stage of his career every extra international he goes off to takes away from the rest periods that might just keep him at a higher level for Everton. Its not like he`s going to miss being part of a big moment in Irish football.
You living in a world were players only get injured during matches?
Players that doesn't play matches, train more, train harder, train with higher intensity and are much likely to get injured during training.
Branthwaite didn't get injured during match and has had setbacks in training. Garner was injured in training. Same with Tarkowski and Keane.
We also see again and again that players that have had long term injuries often pick up other injuries when they start playing matches. Because their body is not used to the impact of playing games. While players that are used to play twice a week, seems to be able to that 11 months a year without picking up more injuries than players that hardly play matches.
I expect Dyche to do a mini preseason during the international break. To get new players up to speed. For those players that was injured during the summer. They will train hard. They are likely to play at least one match behind closed doors. We should expect injuries among those spending the break at Finch Farm. It is a part of football. If you don't get injured players, you're doing it wrong.
I don't expect Coleman to get back to Premier League standard and struggle to see him getting minutes for any other team in the league, but to get there, he needs to play matches. It has been to much training and too few matches the last seasons. To get through a couple of low quality and moderately paced international matches can be exactly what he needs.

Bored of him hanging around club and country like a bad smell. Should have been binned by both years ago.
