The 22-year-old was playing for the Toffees for the first time since representing Scotland during the international break three weeks ago, and it was his first outing in almost two months. And Patterson was injured and unable to play during the build-up to Chelsea’s sixth goal in stoppage time, which was scored by Alfie Gilchrist. After Jarrad Branthwaite was substituted halfway through the second half, Everton manager Sean Dyche acknowledged that Patterson’s problem was “more serious” than Coleman’s.
Patterson is scheduled to see a specialist in London this weekend, per the Daily Mail. His chances of competing for Scotland at the European Championships this summer are reportedly “wafer thin.” Should that be the case, Patterson might not be able to play in Everton’s remaining six games of the season as they fight to stay in the Premier League.
The Blues face Nottingham Forest, who are now two points above the relegation zone, in a crucial match on Sunday at Goodison Park. During his pre-game press conference this afternoon, Dyche will provide an update on Patterson’s injury.
