Everton defender Nathan Patterson has shared an update on social media after undergoing ankle surgery.
The full-back had impressed onlookers in the recent international break, where he starred for Scotland against Poland. And Frank Lampard confirmed that Patterson was subsequently set to make his Premier League debut against West Ham this month.
However, the Everton boss shared that the 20-year-old had suffered an ankle injury in a training session at Finch Farm and would require an operation. Despite his latest setback for the Blues, Patterson was all smiles on Friday as he posted a picture on Twitter.
