Roma Play Down Fears over Ferguson's Back Injury

Evan Ferguson received a severe lower back bruise after 39 minutes but is expected to avoid long-term injury, contributing to Roma's rise to third in Serie A.

  • Recently, Evan Ferguson suffered a serious lower-back bruise during AS Roma's match and was substituted after 39 minutes for Stephan El Shaarawy as Roma won 2-0 against Sassuolo.
  • Following a pair of earlier on-field challenges, Ferguson experienced immediate back pain, as they are painful blows that semi-paralyse you and prevent you from playing.
  • Late goals from Manu Koné and Matías Soulé secured the win and lifted Roma into third place in the Serie A standings.
  • After the game, Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini said a scan will reveal more on Sunday and he is not overly concerned Ferguson will be sidelined long-term.
  • Ahead of March's World Cup play-off semi-final, Ireland face selection concerns as Artem Dovbyk is out for about two months and Adam Idah was recently ruled out for a significant spell.
