NATHAN PATTERSON NEWS

Targeting early March return Patterson (knee) is expected to rejoin training in early March but won't be ready in time for Wednesday's clash with Arsenal.

Impact Patterson was the preferred choice of left-back prior to his injury absence but with veteran Seamus Coleman enjoying a resurgence under new manager Sean Dyche, Patterson may have to work his way back into the starting XI. If he does retake his place on the pitch, Patterson should offer decent fantasy production given his ability to push the attack from the backline.

Closer to return Patterson (knee) is getting closer to a return to the squad but is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa.

Impact Patterson has suffered from injuries all season that will see him miss his 11th match of the year. He has only been able to produce 39 tackles (17 won) and 27 clearances in 13 appearances. Seamus Coleman will start Saturday, who recorded a goal in the last match against Leeds.

Will feature for U21s Patterson will feature with the U21s on Friday in his recovery from a knee injury, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Patterson is steadily making his way back having been out since Jan. 3 with the knee injury. If all goes well, he'll be in the squad for the Feb. 25 contest, but he probably won't be ready to start with the senior team until March. Until that happens, Seamus Coleman will remain at right-back.

Back on training pitch Patterson (knee) was pictured at training Friday but isn't expected to be ready to face Liverpool on Monday.

Impact It's possible that Patterson is ahead of schedule but his initial six-week recovery timeline wouldn't have him available for Monday's Merseyside Derby. Once fit, the youngster should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI, a role that will continue to be filled by Seamus Coleman in the meantime.

Out six weeks with knee injury Patterson will miss up to six weeks with a "medial ligament injury" to his knee, according to manager Frank Lampard.

Impact It's a blow for Patterson, who can't seem to stay healthy in his first season as a regular starter for Everton. This injury once again means a return to the starting XI for Seamus Coleman, who received about a month's worth of starts in October. While it's a blow for the Toffees, Coleman is a veteran and can fill the role at right-back as needed.

Comes off with knock Patterson picked up a knock during the second half of Tuesday's clash with Brighton and was forced off.

Impact Patterson picked up a knock after a heavy tackle and was brought off for Seamus Coleman. Injuries are the only way Tuesday's match could get worse for Everton, who were down 4-0 when Patterson was brought off. The right-backs next chance to return in the Premier League is a Saturday clash with Southampton.

Full match in Cup Patterson (ankle) played the full 90 during Tuesday's 4-1 Carabao Cup loss to Bournemouth

Impact Patterson played the full 90, his first time going a full 90 since returning from his ankle issue. The wing-back was seeing consistent playing time, playing every minute at right-back before picking up the ankle injury. Patterson should have the chance to take that role back for Saturday's trip to Bournemouth in the Premier League.

Impact Patterson has gone 45 minutes the last two matches and could be in play to start the final league match before the break. He was the preferred option over Seamus Coleman prior to injury and it wouldn't be surprising if he got the call at Bournemouth following Everton's two-goal loss against Leicester.

In contention Saturday Patterson (ankle) will be back in the squad versus Fulham on Saturday.

Impact Whether Patterson immediately jumps back into the starting XI remains to be seen with Seamus Coleman having performed well in Patterson's absence. Prior to getting hurt, Patterson recorded 13 crosses (one accurate), five shots (one on target) and 28 tackles (13 won) through the first seven matches (all starts).

Targeting Fulham return Patterson (knee) is hoping to be available against Fulham on Oct. 29. Manager Frank Lampard told reporters, "He's progressing, he's training with us and will be fit, hopefully, for...

Impact Patterson's return to the squad doesn't guarantee he will immediately jump back into the starting XI versus Fulham given the performance of Seamus Coleman during Patterson's absence. Still, once the Scot is back to full health, he should be in the mix to reclaim his spot in the starting XI.

OCTOBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Timeline updated Patterson (knee) could return to the squad in two-to-three weeks according to manager Frank Lampard who told reporters, "We hope Patterson will be fit in two to three weeks."

Impact Based on his timeline, Patterson should be available to play at least a couple of matches before the World Cup break. With captain Seamus Coleman holding the back line in Patterson's stead, the club likely won't be in a hurry to get the youngster back onto the pitch and could ease him in with a few substitute appearances.

OCTOBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out at least four weeks Patterson will "miss around four-to-five weeks" with an ankle injury, according to the team.

Impact This update is slightly better than the initial report from the media and there's a chance Patterson will be an option before the World Cup. It's a tough situation for Seamus Coleman to come in and start every match of October, but he's a veteran and if his body allows it, he'll be at right-back when needed in place of Patterson.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Facing six-week absence Patterson (knee) is expected to be out of action for six weeks, Ben Banks of GlasgowLive reports Tuesday.

Impact Patterson -- who was injured while playing for Scotland -- was hampered by injuries last season and is not set for another stint on the sidelines. Everton has yet to release an official statement regarding his recovery timeline but at this point, it seems like Patterson will be out until after the World Cup break. Without the youngster in the squad, Seamus Coleman figures to make his first appearance in the starting XI and should continue to feature until Patterson is cleared to return.

Injured on international duty Patterson was stretchered off the sidelines after suffering an apparent knee injury while playing for Scotland on Wednesday, per the Liverpool Echo.

Impact Patterson's potential injury would be a significant blow for club team Everton, as he has featured in all seven matches to start the season. If the defender is sidelined for any length of time, veteran Seamus Coleman figures to step into the starting XI in the right-back role.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Holding onto starting gig Patterson has started the first two matches of the season for Everton in which he recorded two shots (zero on target), two crosses (zero accurate) and seven clearances.

Impact Patterson was thrust into the starting XI during the preseason due to an injury to veteran Seamus Coleman. However, with the club captain seemingly fit after making the match-day squad versus Aston Villa on Saturday, the youngster Patterson may be hard-pressed to continue featuring in the starting XI.

AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Playing in preseason Patterson (ankle) has been featuring regularly for Everton in preseason.

Impact Patterson missed the final two months of last season after undergoing ankle surgery in April, but he was fit enough to link up with the Scotland National Team in June and has been available in Everton's preseason. The 20-year-old may even begin the upcoming Premier League campaign as the starter at right-back while Seamus Coleman recovers from an operation he underwent himself in the summer.

AUGUST 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On bench for Scotland Patterson (ankle) will be available as a substitute for Scotland against Armenia on Wednesday.

Impact Patterson missed the end of the club season after undergoing ankle surgery but is at least fit enough to be included in the match-day squad for the UEFA Nations League. Heading into next year, Patterson will face an uphill battle for regular minutes but should provide some much-needed squad depth, especially in case of injury to Seamus Coleman or Vitaliy Mykolenko.

Set for ankle operation Patterson will undergo an ankle operation and likely miss the rest of the season, according to manager Frank Lampard.

Impact It's a tough break for Patterson, who never really found a role in the side after coming over from Rangers in January. He'll hope to regain his fitness this summer and compete for time in the preseason. Of course, if Everton are relegated, he'd probably become a regular in the side in the Championship.

Playing for U23 squad Patterson (undisclosed) featured in the starting XI for Everton's youth setup against Tottenham on Monday, Patrick Boyland of The Athletic reports.

Impact After Patterson was left out of the senior squad for Saturday's clash with Aston Villa there was some concern he was dealing with an injury. Instead, it appears the Toffees simply wanted to get the defender some minutes with the U23 squad. Looking ahead, Patterson should be in the mix to serve as a reservation on the Everton backline but may continue to see minutes with the U23 team in order to further his development.
