Bologna captain Lewis Ferguson is making steady progress in his recovery from a severe knee injury that has sidelined him for nearly five months. The Scottish midfielder suffered a cruciate ligament tear during Bologna’s match against Monza on April 13, an injury that typically requires a six to seven-month rehabilitation period.
According to reports from Corriere dello Sport (via TuttoBologna), Ferguson has been gradually reintroducing himself to on-field activities since late August, including ball work. This week, he is scheduled for a crucial evaluation at the Isokinetic clinic to assess his recovery progress. The medical staff who performed his surgery are reportedly pleased with his rehabilitation, indicating that everything is proceeding as planned.
While Ferguson has overcome the most challenging phase of his recovery, his return to competitive action is still some weeks away. A tentative date has been set for his comeback: November 10, when Bologna is slated to face Roma. This match could potentially mark Ferguson’s long-awaited return to official play.
The 24-year-old midfielder’s absence has been keenly felt by Bologna, as he had been a key figure in their impressive Serie A campaign before his injury. His return will undoubtedly be a significant boost for the team as they continue their push for European qualification.
