Nathan Patterson has avoided any serious injury following his early departure from Scotland's Nations League opener against Ukraine.
The former Rangers youngster was stretchered off in the first of three games last week at Hampden in a major blow to Steve Clarke and club boss Frank Lampard. But following checks with a specialist in London, the full-back will now undergo treatment and should be back in action in the next four to five weeks.
The news will come as a huge boost to the Everton and Scotland support with the right-back starting every single minute of English Premier League action this campaign to date. His impressive performances have landed him huge praise with pundits talking him up following his display against Liverpool and one on one battle with Luis Diaz.
