Bad news at Bologna: Lewis Ferguson was forced to make a substitution in the second half of Bologna-Monza, following a clash with Birindelli.
In the afternoon, after two days of medical checks, the very bitter verdict arrived for the rossoblù captain: “The tests to which Lewis Ferguson underwent following the sprained trauma to his right knee highlighted the injury to the cruciate ligament.
ANSA Agency Palladino stops Motta, at Dall’Ara Bologna-Monza 0-0 – Football – Ansa.it Second equal for Bologna who are slowing down in the Champions League race (ANSA)The player will undergo surgery after which the recovery time will be defined”. Which will be around 6 months. Thiago Motta loses his captain in view of the final sprint for the Champions League, which will begin on Monday afternoon in Rome, in the clash directed with De Rossi’s Giallorossi. Thiago Motta also loses an added striker, scorer of 7 goals in the entire last season and 6 goals and 4 assists in the current one.
Moreover. Even if CEO Claudio Fenucci has asked to lower the volume on transfer rumors regarding the rossoblù jewels, Bologna also loses one of their transfer men in view of the summer. For Ferguson, purchased for 2.5 million in the summer of 2022 from Aberdeen, there had been market interests from Juventus, Napoli, Lazio and the Premier League, with prices approaching 25-30 million, with the club Rossoblù, however, is ready to discuss an adjustment to the contract expiring in 2027 in the event of qualification for Europe.
The midfielder, however, is unlikely to be able to return to the field before September-October and therefore should fall off the radar in the next summer transfer market. Before that, however, he will be unavailable in Bologna’s Champions League final, with Thiago Motta having to identify a replacement between Fabbian and Moro: these are the main replacements for the captain. And the dream of playing the European Championships with the Scotland shirt is also fading.
