Scotland manager Steve Clarke has admitted there is currently no clear return date for Everton defender Nathan Patterson following his injury sustained while away on international duty.
The Blues' full-back, looking to maintain his impressive form of late, was selected to start Scotland's UEFA Nations League match versus Ukraine on Wednesday evening but lasted only 26 minutes of the match before being stretchered off after colliding with Ruslan Malinovsky.
This blow comes after Patterson's injury woes of last season, which saw the 20-year-unavailable for any of Everton's matches from April onwards after undergoing surgery on an ankle issue.
