Bologna FC will be without the services of key midfielder Lewis Ferguson for at least the next three weeks due to a muscular issue. This setback means he is likely to miss the opening of the Serie A season.
According to an official statement from Bologna, Ferguson sustained an injury during a training session. Medical examinations revealed a Grade I lesion in his left calf muscle. Typically, this type of injury requires approximately three weeks of recovery time.
Ferguson`s Absence Impacts Bologna`s Season Start
The Scottish international`s unavailability is a significant blow for Bologna as they prepare for their Serie A opener against AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on August 23. Ferguson, who joined Bologna in the summer of 2022 from Aberdeen for €2 million, has seen his value increase dramatically thanks to his impressive performances in Serie A.
This injury comes as another setback for Ferguson, who missed a substantial portion of the previous season due to anterior cruciate ligament surgery on his knee in April 2024. Despite his absence, Bologna managed to clinch the Coppa Italia title last season.
As Bologna looks to build on their recent success, Ferguson`s recovery and return to form will be crucial for the team`s ambitions in the upcoming Serie A campaign.
