Solid in loss to Morocco Patterson registered one cross (one accurate) and one tackle in Friday's 1-0 defeat versus Morocco.

Impact After coming off the bench in Scotland's opening match versus Haiti, Patterson worked his way into the starting XI Friday, replacing Aaron Hickey. He and the Scottish defense put up a solid performance, holding Morocco to just two shots on target. He won one duel, intercepted two passes and made two clearances on that end of the pitch. He also sent in one accurate cross at the end of the first half which resulted in one of the team's best chances in the match. After a solid performance, he's got a good chance to start the final group stage match versus Brazil on Wednesday.

Makes first league start Patterson generated three tackles (one won), six clearances and one interception in Tuesday's 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest.

Impact With Michael Keane (undisclosed) sidelined, Patterson made his first league start at right-back, with Jake O'Brien shifting into a central role. He recorded his first clean sheet of the season, contributing three tackles, one interception and six clearances. Patterson has struggled with injuries and missed nine games this season, and while he could be in line for another start with Everton's options depleted, the quick turnaround could see James Garner, who has played the position earlier this season, or Merlin Rohl, who filled in after Patterson was substituted, come into consideration.

Available off bench Tuesday Patterson (foot) remained an unused substitute in Tuesday's 1-0 victory against Bournemouth, confirming he is back fit for Everton.

Impact Patterson has fully cleared his foot injury since he was back available off the bench in Tuesday's win against the Cherries. The defender has yet to play his first minutes this season for the Toffees and that could happen in Saturday's clash against Forest given the numerous injuries in the backline and suspensions in the midfield.

Impact Patterson was already suffering from a foot injury but has suffered yet another injury, needing to receive surgery on his groin due to a hernia. He was already expected to be out until after the November international break, so he will hope to use that time to heal from both issues. He still has yet to debut this season and has gone unused off the bench a few times, mainly just a depth option for the club.

Impact Patterson is struggling with injuries after a midweek match with the U21s left him reeling from an undisclosed issue. This is a rough development for the defender, as he has yet to appear this season and will not help the cause with another injury. He hopes his issues are minor and he is an option Saturday, with a bench spot likely if fit.

OCTOBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Finds bench spot Saturday Patterson (groin) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa, confirming he is back fit for Everton.

Impact Patterson was expected to return a bit later but ultimately found a bench spot for Saturday's clash against the Villains, confirming he is back fit for the Toffees. That said, he was mostly a bench option last season, therefore he should hold the same kind of role this season under coach David Moyes.

Impact Patterson missed the beginning of the season due to a groin injury and is nearing a return for the Toffees. The defender resumed team training but he's considered as match ready yet. That said, he was mostly a bench option last season, therefore his absence doesn't impact the starting squad.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Brighton Patterson (groin) is out for Sunday's match against Brighton, manager David Moyes told media during his pre-match press conference Friday. "[Nathan] Patterson is not fit, either."

Impact Patterson missed the season-opening loss against Leeds United, and the right-back won't be able to make his return to action this weekend, either. This means Jake O'Brien will continue to start at right-back, though the overall defensive line remains depleted since Jarrad Branthwaite (hamstring) and Vitaliy Mykolenko (undisclosed) are sidelined as well. Patterson's next chance to play will come against Wolverhampton on Saturday, Aug. 30, right before the international break.

Impact Patterson is dealing with what's believed to be a sports hernia, though the severity of the injury is uncertain. If he ends up being available, he could find a way into the starting lineup in case Jake O'Brien shifts to center-back due to the absence of Jarrad Branthwaite (hamstring).

Impact Patterson was not involved in the club's last two friendlies despite no update, but his absence has finally been explained, as he is dealing with some symptoms of a hernia. However, this has yet to be confirmed, with the defender still needing testing. This is something that could sideline the defender for a decent span if it is deemed a hernia, a bit concerning with the season about to start.

AUGUST 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays minor role Patterson assisted once in 10 appearances (three starts) in the Premier League.

Impact Patterson struggled with injuries and poor form and hardly played throughout the season. The defender failed to appear in the final three matches of the season. Patterson would likely remain a depth option next season, even if back to full fitness. That said, the departure of Ashley Young could open up more room for Patterson to compete for starts at right-back.

Impact After logging a start at Chelsea to finish April, Patterson began his May with another start against Ipswich Town. Defensively, there was room for improvement on his part, considering he is part of a defensive unit that conceded multiple goals to a relegation-confirmed team at home. Offensively, Patterson's lineup addition proved worthwhile, as he logged the assist to Everton's second goal scored by Dwight McNeil.

MAY 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starts against Chelsea Patterson registered one cross, an interception, one clearance and four tackles (three won) in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Chelsea.

Impact Patterson saw his first start in two matches Saturday, earning the spot at right-back after going unused in the club's past two games. He would appear for 64 minutes during the match, having a decent effort in the one-goal loss. The defender continues to see more of a rotational role as the season ends, starting in only three of the 10 appearances he made while dealing with a few injuries throughout the campaign.

Option off bench Patterson (hamstring) is back on the bench for Wednesday's trip to Brentford.

Impact Patterson returned to the bench for Wednesday's clash. The defender wasn't supposed to be match fit for another week, but appears to be fit enough for Wednesday's clash. It's very uncertain if Patterson is fit enough for any sort of significant minutes off the bench.

Out to face Liverpool Patterson is out for Wednesday's match against Liverpool due to a hamstring injury, according to his club.

Impact Patterson is set to spend another match on the sidelines, missing his second straight contest after missing out Saturday.

Youth team minutes Patterson got the start with the U21 team during Monday's clash with Watford.

Impact Patterson recovered from a hamstring injury earlier in the season, but has yet to make his senior team debut. The defender got some more minutes with the youth team as he continues to build fitness. Moving forward he would likely be available as a depth option for the senior team.

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Available for season debut Patterson (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Ipwsich.

Impact Patterson's inclusion is surprising after being deemed a longer-term absence by Sean Dyche in the buildup to Saturday's match. The fullback has yet to debut this season, but is available if called on from the bench Saturday.

OCTOBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Patterson will have to waityet another week for a return as he continues to mend his injured hamstring. However, he has been training regularly, bringing confidence that he will be fit soon.

OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to face Newcastle Patterson (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Patto is more common sense now. He's out training all of the time bu...

Impact Patterson has been on the brink of a return for some time, as he has been training and playing the reserve teams since mid-September but has yet to feature yet. He will now have a slight chance of making that happen Saturday, although his availability will likely come down to a fitness test. However, the defender seems to be more likely to miss out on another match, with a return coming immediately after the international break. Either way, this is still positive news, as he should be back on the field within the club's next two matches.

OCTOBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Plays with U21s Patterson played roughly 60 minutes in a match with the U21s Monday, according to his club.

Impact Patterson has gotten his first minutes in a competitive match in a while, having competed with the U21s to further his recovery program. This is positive news, as it does imply the defender is nearing a return. There is a possibility he finds himself on the team sheet in a bench role to face Newcastle on Saturday after testing his legs, although a return following the international break against Ipswich Town on Oct. 19 seems a bit more likely.

OCTOBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to face Palace Patterson (hamstring) is doubtful for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Certainly Jarrad is in front of the curve compared to Patto. Patto...

Impact Patterson looks to most likely be missing out on Saturday's match, with the defender needing more time despite receiving minutes with the U21s last week. However, he is still a late call, giving him a slight chance to appear. Even if that is the case, a bench spot is probably the best he can do after so much doubt about his availability.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sees time with second team Patterson (hamstring) played 60 minutes with Everton's U21s Saturday, according to his club.

Impact Patterson served with the U21s over the weekend as expected, seeing 60 minutes on the field. This is good news for the defender, as it leaves him in a decent spot to return, with that likely coming in their next match. That said, he will hope to return in their next contest against Crystal Palace on Tuesday, probably seeing a spot on the bench if selected.
