Sean Dyche admits Nathan Patterson in his 'thinking' as Everton injury hands defender starting path

Nathan Patterson is in Sean Dyche's 'thinking' after Everton were dealt a major injury blow ahead of their season run-in.

The ex-Burnley manager is desperate to ensure the Merseyside team avoid the drop to the English Championship with his side sitting just outside the bottom three but level on points with Nottingham Forest and just two points ahead of Leicester City. But now Dyche has a major injury to contend with after club captain Seamus Coleman limped off in the 2-0 defeat to Man United.

However, the Irishman's knock could offer Scotland star Patterson a pathway back in to the starting eleven. The former Rangers man has been somewhat conspicuous by his absence at Goodison despite featuring for Steve Clarke's side in the previous two EURO 2024 qualifying matches against Cyprus and Spain.
