Brighton and Hove Albion’s 3-2 win over Wolves in the EFL brought both celebration and concern, as their rising star,
Evan Ferguson, suffered a potentially serious injury. Ferguson had been in scintillating form, netting a hat-trick that spearheaded Brighton’s victory at the Amex Stadium. However, the post-match atmosphere shifted dramatically when news broke about Ferguson’s injury, leaving fans and the team anxious about his condition.
Ferguson’s performance was nothing short of remarkable. The 19-year-old striker displayed incredible finishing prowess, contributing to Brighton’s attacking dominance. His first goal came from a clinical strike after a well-placed pass from Kaoru Mitoma, while his second and third demonstrated his natural goal-scoring instincts. His form has been one of the key reasons Brighton has continued their impressive campaign under Roberto De Zerbi.
Unfortunately, toward the final minutes of the game, Ferguson took a heavy knock following a challenge in a collision with Newcastle’s defender Sven Botman. He was seen in clear discomfort, clutching his leg as the medical team rushed onto the pitch. Though he tried to continue, he was eventually substituted, limping off and leaving the fans and coaching staff concerned. Early reports suggest a potential ankle injury, but the full extent of the damage is yet to be confirmed.
This injury could be a significant setback for Brighton, as Ferguson has been instrumental in their attack this season. With Europa League matches on the horizon and the need to keep momentum in the Premier League, De Zerbi faces a tough challenge in managing his squad should Ferguson be sidelined for an extended period. The club and its fans now await further updates on his recovery.
