Roma worried as Ferguson flies back for specialist consultation with Brighton | OneFootball

Roma injury problems persist for Matias Soulé and Mario Hermoso, while Evan Ferguson flew back to Brighton for a specialist consultation.

The Giallorossi are fresh off a 3-3 thriller against Juventus that saw them left in fourth place in Serie A.

Roma still struggling with injury problems

Their absentee list remains extensive, as Paulo Dybala had personalised training just hours after becoming a father for the first time.

Soulé and Hermoso missed the Juventus match, and were still not training with the rest of their teammates today, while Artem Dovbyk is another long-term absentee.

Ferguson was not at the Trigoria ground at all today, and the Corriere dello Sport report he has flown back to England for a specialist consultation.

It was arranged in co-ordination with his parent club, Brighton and Hove Albion, because it is now safe to say Roma have no intention of activating the €35m option to buy at the end of the season.

The Republic of Ireland international has struggled with a repeated ankle injury and has not played since January 10.

Ferguson skipped 11 games due to injury this season, playing in 22 matches for Roma, and rarely made a good impression.
