Nathan Patterson Injury: Dealt possible hernia

Patterson is set for assessment due to a possible sports hernia, according to manager David Moyes, per Chris Beesley of the Liverpool Echo. "Nathan has hernia symptoms. Whether it means he's got a hernia or not, we're not sure, but we'll have him assessed on Tuesday after we get back."

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.
