[Albion] Evan Ferguson - any injury updates?

[BluesRockDJ]

I doubt it. We’d shift senior players around, out of position if necessary, before throwing in such a young, inexperienced lad to a Wembley cup semi final.

Groß will play right back

I think you have forgotten that the manager who shifted players about and played them out of position is now unemployed ? RDZ and his staff are with the players 24/7 and I'm sure he will make the right call ?

 

[Sheebo]

That’s dated from Saturday when he also said that injuries normally need to be assessed a few days after, …I don’t think you can rule out a recovery, but it’s surely more likely he’ll miss the game ..pity for the lad more than anything

Think it’s dated today. I thought the same as @Wozza hence I came to this thread - that’s new official news that he’s unfortunately out Sunday.

Dimitar Berbatov says Evan Ferguson would be better off staying at Brighton to continue his development than secure a transfer to Manchester United or elsewhere this summer.(Manchester Evening News)

At last, someone sensible!

 

[Sheebo]

Not in the training photos - nor Veltman. Pretty much confirmation neither will play for me.

I suspect even Ferguson might well know that too - but #prayforhis impoverished agent!

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Honestly, the thought of Ferguson up against Maguire is absolutely mouth-watering.

Not long to wait. May 4th is just around the corner.

Yes dated today and states that RDZ confirms Ferguson is not playing Sunday.

Strategic? Probably a reach!

I expect Harry Maguire is breathing a sigh of relief at that news

Indeed, young Evan is in the right place to continue with his development, in any case why move to a smaller club?

I think he’d already prepared for this and got himself suspended to avoid embarrassment.

The Mac Allister interview is dated Tue 18 and, even if we assume that it was conducted on the same day, there would also need to be contact with RdZ in order for him to 'confirm' EF's absence for Sunday.
I'm not completely ruling out EF making the squad for Sunday yet. If RdZ indicates he will be out in his pre-match press conference, then I will. He tends to be pretty honest about injury situations.

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

in Lewis Dunk's Talksport interview on YouTube today, recorded yesterday, he says Evan may or may not be available on Sunday.

So there is still some hope.

 

[Milano]

Realistically he needs to be able to train tomorrow, otherwise I’d say there’s very little chance

Nonsense, if he wakes up on Sunday, feels fine and can pass a fitness test with the Physios, then he can make the bench.

It’s not 1998 anymore…..

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

It’s not 1998 anymore…..

He's 18 years old, knows his role and has had a week off.

As long as his injury has cleared up, he'll have no problem playing.

It's not as if he'd have lost physical fitness.

 

[Comrade Sam]

Just turned my ankle over and definitely won't be able to play Sunday, sorry folks. I'm not sure how quickly Evan can recover, but my injury at my age I'll be lucky to be back to full (comparative) fitness by the summer.

Me too. Sparined my ankle playing football on Tuesday night. Will be hobbling up Wembley way on Sunday.
