Everton coach shares Nathan Patterson and James Garner updates after injury comebacks

Paul Tait believes Nathan Patterson and James Garner have moved one step closer to featuring for Everton after playing for the club’s under-21 side on Thursday night.

The pair both featured in the 3-0 defeat to PSV Eindhoven in the quarter-finals of the Premier League International Cup. Patterson played just over an hour, while Garner managed to feature for 84 minutes at Goodison Park.

Garner has been sidelined with a back problem since before the World Cup, while Patterson picked up a knee injury during Everton’s 4-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion at the start of January. But Tait believes the two are now one step closer to returning for Sean Dyche's side.
