Nathan Patterson will visit a top specialist on Tuesday as his anxious wait for news on his latest injury set back rumbles on.
The Scotland and Everton kid had to be stretchered off at Hampden on Wednesday night after going down during the victory over Ukraine. The 20-year-old withdrew from Steve Clarke’s squad the following day as he headed straight back to the Toffee’s Finch Farm training base to have scans on both his knee and ankle. Worryingly, it’s the same ankle which had to be operated on as he sat out the final two months of last season.
Clarke last night said he’d received “no feedback yet” on the former Rangers right-back’s condition. And Record Sport understands there will be no further update on the length of his potential lay off until he visits an expert medic on Tuesday. The wait will concern both Clarke and Goodison gaffer Frank Lampard given Patterson ’s impressive start to the season.
