Evan Ferguson Set to Miss At Least Two Weeks After Early Ankle Injury for Roma

The 21-year-old Roma loanee has a sprained right ankle that leaves his Ireland availability in doubt, according to initial tests.

Overview

  • Ferguson limped off after seven minutes following an opening-minute collision in Roma’s 2-1 Serie A win over Parma at the Stadio Olimpico.
  • Italian reports say tests identified a sprained right ankle with ligament strain, with an expected layoff of a couple of weeks.
  • The timeframe has not been formally confirmed by Roma’s medical staff and remains an initial assessment.
  • His recovery window places his participation for Ireland’s November World Cup qualifiers at risk, including Portugal on 13 November and Hungary on 16 November.
  • The Republic of Ireland striker is on loan from Brighton with an option to buy and has one assist in 10 competitive appearances for Roma this season.
