Brighton boss reveals Evan Ferguson could play this weekend

Evan Ferguson could be in line to feature for Brighton in their Premier League clash with Bournemouth on Saturday after fears over a potentially serious injury were allayed.

There had been concerns over Ferguson after he limped off in the closing stages of Brighton's 2-1 FA Cup victory against Liverpool.

A tackle from behind from Liverpool midfielder Fabinho saw Ferguson eventually leave the stadium on crutches and there were real fears that the Irish youngster has suffered a major injury.

However initial reports indicated revealed that the former Bohemians man had not suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury and today his manager Roberto De Zerbi revealed that he could be involved in the weekend’s action.

"We will have to see about Evan," De Zerbi said.

"The injury was not so heavy, he might be able to play tomorrow or the next game, but right now it's not so clear."

Meanwhile De Zerbi has urged Brighton fans to get behind wantaway midfielder Moises Caicedo.

Ecuador international Caicedo is poised to return to Albion’s matchday squad for Saturday’s clash with Bournemouth after failing to force a move before the transfer deadline amid two bids from Premier League leaders Arsenal.

"I am very happy Moises stays with us until the end of the season," said De Zerbi.

"I want to speak to our fans because I want them to support him. I don’t want them to criticise him. I love Moises, the people who work inside of Brighton love Moises, he’s a good guy.

"I don’t know if he made a mistake or not but the transfer market is closed and the fans must follow me because I take responsibility for him. And if I say something so clear about Moises, they have to believe in me."
