Patterson has been ruled out for the rest of the domestic season after suffering a hamstring injury against Chelsea on Monday. The news will be a serious concern for Scotland head coach Steve Clarke, who also has a major doubt over Brentford right-back Aaron Hickey's fitness.
"Patto will be out for the season, he will need surgery. It's a very unfortunate injury. It's a shame for Patto, he came on and looked sharp the other night, he's been training really well, just getting back to where I think he can be - because I think he's a very good player - and he's very unfortunate with a really awkward fall."
When asked about Patterson's hopes of playing in the European Championship, Dyche said: "I don't know on the medical side of the times other than this season, as in playing for us. But he will have surgery, so we hope that goes well and then it's how quickly it settles, I'm sure."
Clarke suffered a major blow earlier in the week when it was revealed that in-form Bologna midfielder Lewis Ferguson had suffered cruciate ligament damage, ruling him out of the summer tournament in Germany.
