Evan Ferguson’s ‘grim’ conclusion from Brighton ‘camera material’ is drawn by an injury expert.
Evan Ferguson might be out for weeks after suffering a “nasty” injury in Brighton’s win against Liverpool.
That is the opinion of Ben Dinnery, a medical specialist who operates the Premier Injuries website and has a history in injuries and data analysis, who spoke exclusively to Football Insider.
Ferguson was ruled out of Brighton’s encounter against Bournemouth on Saturday due to a knee injury sustained in the FA Cup triumph against Liverpool.
The 18-year-old made his debut at the Amex Stadium but was forced to leave after getting injured by Liverpool player Fabinho.
Ferguson’s debut came after a fantastic run of play in the Premier League in which he scored three goals and assisted twice in five games.
Since then, the PGMOL has admitted that the tackle on Ferguson should have resulted in a red card.
Dinnery called the tackle “grim” and said Ferguson could be out for weeks after seeing the video.
“The initial video footage indicates that Evan Ferguson has a nasty injury,” Dinnery told Football Insider.
“It was a horrible behind-the-back tackle that should have resulted in a red card, and it wasn’t the only challenge that crossed the line.”
“Slow motion never looks good, but that mechanism and the nature of the injury looked bleak.”
“Brighton are hoping that the youngster is only out for a few weeks and not months.”
“But regardless, it’s a blow for the Seagulls and a huge knockback for Ferguson who burst onto the scene and was in great form.”
In other developments, a pundit was taken aback by Fabinho’s ‘crazy’ behavior when the Brighton dispute was examined.
