Evan Ferguson continues being sidelined with an ankle injury.
As reported by La Repubblica, yesterday, the Irishman returned to the doctors at Brighton, the club that owns his contract, for a consultation.
To say that the striker’s season might already be over at this point is no longer a stretch.
A player capable of injuring his ankles four times in the space of half a year. The last time was while avoiding a photographer during the European trip to Stuttgart. That’s right. It’s all true, confirmed by Gasperini in his press conference. First the anecdote, then the considerations: “Every time he changes direction, he risks injury. He’s very unhappy, and it’s difficult to get him back into shape.”
More than a failure, it’s a verdict. Even more so if issued by a coach who makes physical condition the basis for a football based on pressing, recoveries and lightning counterattacks.
