Ndiaye was brought off with an apparent injury after scoring during Monday's clash with Sunderland.

Patterson (foot) is suffering from a hernia and had to undergo a procedure on his groin, according to manager David Moyes. "[Patterson] has had a small procedure on his groin so he's obviously not available for this game."

Branthwaite was expected to return for Saturday's clash against Manchester City before suffering a setback that will sideline him several months, coach David Moyes confirmed in the press conference. "We had him back, we had him back in training. We expected him to be very close for Man City, but it just didn't feel quite right, so we got it checked and got some work done on it."

Patterson suffered a plantar facia tear in his foot and will miss a couple of weeks, coach David Moyes said in the press conference. "Patto had a plantar facia tear in his foot which he picked up against Bradford for the Under-21s. It'll probably keep him out for a couple of weeks. In that period, he's had a problem with his hernia, so we're probably going to get it tidied up while he's out."

Branthwaite has suffered a setback and will undergo hamstring surgery.
