Rome, Italy 23 August 2025: Ivan Ferguson of AS Roma during the Serie A 2025-26 football match between AS Roma vs Bologna FC at the Olimpico Stadium

In the last few months, sports witness are keeping an eye on Ivan Ferguson’s loan at AS Roma and the general struggles of the Brighton player.

The Italian side saw him start with promise, especially in the preseason. He impressed against Bologna and Pisa but then took several weeks to score his first goal. He came on against Cremonese in November.

Amidst all this, Ferguson was struggling with fitness. There was resentment at Roma for playing for Ireland despite injury and then for allegedly being overweight.

Soon, he lost his starting spot and then an ankle injury kept him out of action. Those concerns still remain, with Ferguson returning to Brighton to seek counselling. There was also a possibility of surgery but there is still uncertainty about his medical condition.

Corriere Della Sera – relayed by dejeroma tvReport that the striker has been wearing a brace and using crutches for several weeks now.

For this he took the help of Brighton and went to England. But it did not yield any concrete results. That’s why Ferguson will have a new counseling session in the next few days and is considering surgery.

It is looking increasingly likely that the 21-year-old will miss a game for Roma before the end of the season.

IInjuries are becoming a pattern for Ferguson

Unfortunately, the Brighton player has been plagued by injuries over the past several seasons.

Initially, there was promise at Roma and he was being given priority over Artem Dovbyk. He also faded away due to fitness concerns and that just defines the player’s problems.

DajeRomaTV also noted that Gasperini has not always been impressed by the striker’s attitude. This is something a player can control, even if injuries prevent him.
