Former Don Lewis Ferguson could MISS this summer’s European Championships after suffering a knee injury.

The Scotland international sustained the problem following a challenge from Samuele Birindelli in the second half of Bologna’s goalless draw with Monza on Saturday.

Bologna issued a statement on Monday confirming the midfielder, who moved to Italy from Aberdeen in 2022, had suffered a cruciate ligament injury.

The statement read: “Lewis Ferguson today underwent a medical examination which revealed that he has sustained an injury to his cruciate ligament. He will undergo an operation, after which his recovery time will be assessed.”

It has been reported in the Italian media the 24-year-old could be out until the start of next season, which would rule out involvement in June’s Euros.

Ferguson, who has won 12 Scotland caps, was expected to be part of Steve Clarke’s squad for the tournament in Germany.

Speaking after Saturday’s draw Bologna boss Thiago Motta said: “We are hoping that it was just a blow on his knee, but the tests will find out more.”

Ferguson himself hopes the injury is not serious and posted on social media: “It was a frustrating night for all of us but we keep pushing. I hope the injury isn’t too serious. I’ll be back soon.”
