Ferguson flies to England to continue ankle injury recovery | OneFootball

Evan Ferguson continues being sidelined with an ankle injury.

As reported by La Repubblica, yesterday, the Irishman returned to the doctors at Brighton, the club that owns his contract, for a consultation.

To say that the striker’s season might already be over at this point is no longer a stretch.

A player capable of injuring his ankles four times in the space of half a year. The last time was while avoiding a photographer during the European trip to Stuttgart. That’s right. It’s all true, confirmed by Gasperini in his press conference. First the anecdote, then the considerations: “Every time he changes direction, he risks injury. He’s very unhappy, and it’s difficult to get him back into shape.”

More than a failure, it’s a verdict. Even more so if issued by a coach who makes physical condition the basis for a football based on pressing, recoveries and lightning counterattacks.
