Dyche discusses two major injuries following third defeat to Everton

Everton will be taking on Aston Villa next, marking another challenging match for a team that may have to play without Patterson or Braithwaite. As a result, Everton finds themselves at the bottom of the Premier League standings, looking up at the rest of the teams in the league.

Clubs do have a two week break however which could help recovery times for the two youngsters as they attempt to regain full fitness or return to availability. 

Both players have missed the entirety of pre-season and the opening weeks of the campaign which means if they do return from injury it may take some time to get them back up to scratch. 

Dyche spoke on the pair in his recent interview after a tough loss against Bournemouth. 

“They are not there yet.” 

A simple comment which does not help the confidence of a club that many say are heading for relegation this season unless they can find a way to bring back  two crucial players in time to try and grab three points and climb back up the table.
