Lewis Ferguson transfer rush on ice as Bologna and Scotland midfielder lifts the lid on recuperation time.

Lewis Ferguson transfer rush on ice as Bologna and Scotland midfielder lifts the lid on recuperation time.

Scotland midfielder Lewis Ferguson has admitted he may not play again this year after battling back from knee surgery.

Ferguson hurt his knee in Bologna’s match against Monza on April 13 and went under the knife after scans revealed how bad it was. The news comes as a blow to the 24-year-old, who captains the Rossoblu and is an integral part of the team, which is fourth in Serie A and looking to qualify for the Champions League.

Such is Ferguson’s form that he won the prestigious Bulgarelli 8 award earlier this month for being the best midfielder in Italy this season and has been linked with a move to Juventus as other Italian clubs monitor his situation. However, the former Aberdeen man is unlikely to be eligible until 2025 and interest from potential suitors has temporarily cooled as a result.

“I had an operation three weeks ago,” Ferguson told BBC Scotland. “It’s really tough physically and mentally. I’ve never been injured before. But I’m starting to accept that it’s a long road and I’m ready to do it. I don’t want to give up, but it’s going to be at least six to seven months before I train again. ”

Ferguson’s injury will also rule him out of this summer’s European Championships. Scotland, covered 12 times by Steve Clarke, will probably be the squad of Euro 2024. “It will be tough,” He added missing the tournament, “I am looking forward to seeing the guys and I hope they can continue and make a mark”.
