Overview
- The 21-year-old was substituted around the sixth minute after a heavy tackle by Parma’s Valenti struck his right ankle.
- He tried to continue but was removed by coach Gian Piero Gasperini and went straight to the dressing room.
- Club staff have flagged recurring ankle issues, with recent stoppages for both Ireland and Roma noted by Gasperini.
- After signing for Roma, Ferguson underwent extensive checks, including a consult with orthopedist Georg Ahlbäumer trusted by the Friedkin ownership.
- A capsulo‑ligamentous ankle sprain sidelined him for over a month last winter, and the club now hopes this is only a strong contusion pending further tests.
