Frank Lampard has confirmed that Nathan Patterson will be out for around eight to ten weeks after picking up an ankle injury prior to Everton's defeat at West Ham on Sunday. The right-back was set to make his Premier League debut for the club at the London Stadium on Sunday.
However, in training shortly before the match, the manager confirmed that the youngster rolled his ankle in a session at Finch Farm, ruling him out of the clash. Confidence was high around the Scotland international after his impressive performances for his country over the recent international break.
And, speaking about the condition of Patterson, Lampard confirmed that his injury could rule him out for the rest of the season. The right-back was also confirmed to be preparing for surgery this week.
