Everton defender Nathan Patterson is set to be cleared of serious injury.

Patterson was stretchered off just 20 minutes into Scotland's Nations League win over Ukraine on Wednesday night with concerns over his fitness after he indicated pains in his leg and his knee.

The medical team at Hampden Park needed more than five minutes to treat Patterson before he was withdrawn from the pitch.

The Scottish Daily Express reports the injury to the 20-year-old is deemed “not serious". Patterson is only expected to be sidelined for a short period of time, but does not elaborate any further.

A source is quoted in the report saying: "The injury is not as bad as first feared but he will see a specialist on Tuesday for confirmation."
