Scotland manager Steve Clarke has given the latest update on Nathan Patterson as the Everton defender continues his recovery from injury.
The full-back underwent surgery on an ankle problem at the beginning of April, which ended his 2021/22 season for the Blues, having not made a Premier League appearance since his January move from Rangers. However, he was recently called up for his national team as they prepare to face Ukraine in a World Cup qualifier.
Patterson hasn't played since his involvement in Scotland's friendly against Austria in March and Clarke has admitted he clearly won't be match fit for the crucial clash with Ukraine, or the Nations League matches with Armenia and Ireland that follow.
