Nathan Patterson 'not serious' injury claim made as Everton defender offers clue

Everton have been handed a potential boost over the fitness of Nathan Patterson.

The Everton right-back was stretchered off just 20 minutes into Scotland’s Nations League win over Ukraine on Wednesday night with concerns over his fitness after he indicated pains in his leg and his knee. The medical team at Hampden Park needed more than five minutes to treat Patterson before he was withdrawn from the pitch.

Now, according to the Scottish Daily Express , the injury to the 20-year-old is deemed “not serious”. The report also claims that Patterson is only expected to be sidelined for a short period of time, but does not elaborate any further.
