Hopeful to play for Ireland Ferguson is hoping to be available for Saturday's match against Netherlands, according to Ireland boss Stephen Kenny. "Having not been available for his club at the weekend, he cou...

Impact Ferguson missed the Sheffield United match just before the break, but the issue doesn't seem serious as he should feature at least once for Ireland in upcoming qualifiers. Prior to injury, Ferguson had back-to-back league starts, so his status will be worth monitoring in the next week, as it could change how Brighton's XI looks for the trip to Forest on Nov. 25.

Extends through 2029 Ferguson signed a contract extension through 2029, Brighton announced.

Impact Ferguson signing a deal that takes him until the end of the decade might be the biggest coup in a season of victories for Brighton. The young striker is one of the most exciting young prospects in the world with links to major clubs, and he will now be with Brighton long-term. Ferguson is up to five goals in seven starts in 2023/24, as he continues to develop into a more complete package as an attacker.

Scores in draw Ferguson scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Fulham.

Impact Ferguson notched his fifth goal of the season when he scored the opening goal of the contest in the 26th minute. The forward had been in a goal-scoring drought since his three-goal outing in early September. Although Ferguson had been battling some fitness issues, he was in the starting lineup after two games on the bench and played 78 minutes.

Available against Villa Ferguson (fitness) is available for Saturday's trip to Aston Villa, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "Evan Ferguson is good, he worked yesterday very well."

Impact Ferguson is available Saturday, a good sign after concerns over his fitness were raised following a 45 minute stint against Bournemouth. The striker also had a minor knee injury during the break so it's a positive development that he avoided any sort of issues during training.

Still battling fitness Ferguson only went 45 minutes in Sunday's win against Bournemouth and according to manager Roberto De Zerbi, he wasn't in his best "physical condition."

Impact Ferguson had a bit of a knee issue over the international break and then he had an illness, so he probably hasn't been training fully. He'll hope to get some minutes in Wednesday's Cup match but may be a doubt to start the trip to Aston Villa on Saturday.

Recovers from illness Ferguson is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Bournemouth.

Impact Ferguson returns from an illness which kept him out of mid week action against AEK Athens. The forward starts with Danny Welbeck also in the XI as Ferguson has scored four goals in his five league appearances thus far.

Chance for Sunday Ferguson missed Thursday's match with an illness and has a chance for Sunday's match against Bournemouth, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Impact Ferguson was dealing with a knee issue before the international break and then had to completely miss Thursday's game with an illness. It seems like he's playing through whatever knee issue he has, but this illness could prevent him from starting Sunday and it'll depend largely on how much he wants to push his striker.

Will be available off bench Ferguson (knee) is available off the bench for Saturday's game against Manchester United.

Impact Ferguson was spotted in training earlier this week due to a sore knee, but the injury wasn't as severe as initially expected, and he should see minutes off the bench if the team needs him. He's coming off scoring a hat-trick against Newcastle in the team's most recent league match and has four goals across four appearances.

Impact Ferguson will be a true game-time call after picking up a knee injury before the international break. He spent the break recovering in Brighton but still won't be risked unless he passes the fitness tests with flying colors. New loan-signing Ansu Fati could get the start up top if Ferguson is out Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in training Ferguson (knee) was spotted in training and should be an option for Saturday's clash against Manchester United.

Impact Ferguson didn't play with Ireland during the break due to a sore knee, but considering he didn't suffer an injury against Newcastle United as previously reported, his presence in training represents quite a boost for his chances of featuring against Manchester United at Old Trafford when league play resumes this weekend. Ferguson netted a hat-trick against the Magpies and has scored four goals in four appearances (two starts) this season.

Impact This is certainly an encouraging update regarding the promising forward, who bagged a hat-trick against Newcastle just before the international break. As things stand now, and with almost two weeks to recover, Ferguson seems to be trending in the right direction to be in contention for a starting role against Manchester United on Sep. 16 when the Premier League resumes.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Out over break with knee injury Ferguson will miss Ireland's two matches over the international break with a knee injury suffered in Saturday's match against Newcastle, according to the FA of Ireland.

Impact This is a bit of news that came out of nowhere for Ferguson, who went 81 minutes in Saturday's win, bagging a hat trick from four shots. There's not a ton of information on the exact injury, but his status for the Sept. 16 trip to Manchester United is in doubt and with Danny Welbeck also injured, Roberto De Zerbi may have to switch up his striker role yet again.

Scores hat-trick Ferguson scored three goals from four shots (all on target) in Saturday's 3-1 with against Newcastle.

Impact Ferguson put in a dominant display that showed why he is considered one of the most promising young strikers in world football. He showed good instinct to follow up a shot for his first, hit a long range curler for his second, before seeing a deflected strike wrong-foot the goalkeeper. He becomes only the fourth player to score a Premier League hat-trick before their 19th birthday after Chris Bart-Williams, Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen.
