The youngster is currently in a “really disappointing” situation at Crystal Palace and requires counsel and assistance.

Crystal Palace star Nathan Ferguson has suffered another ‘really disappointing’ injury, and journalist Dean Jones has told GIVEMESPORT whether there will be an opportunity to revive his Selhurst Park career.

Although the defender joined the Eagles following the expiry of his West Bromwich Albion contract three years ago, he has been unable to make a lasting impression due to being forced to spend extensive periods on the treatment table.

Roy Hodgson, who has led Palace to nine wins since returning to the dugout for a second stint earlier this year, is now facing another spell without being able to call upon Ferguson.

Ferguson made to contend with fresh injury blow

Ferguson suffered a serious hamstring injury while featuring for Palace’s under-21 side last month, according to The Athletic, having initially shown promise by completing the full 90 minutes for the first time in a competitive game at any level since January 2022.

The report suggests the 23-year-old, who headed to south London having made 21 appearances for former employers West Brom, sustained further damage in a Premier League International Cup encounter against Monaco and is set for another significant lay-off.

Ferguson has only made one appearance in a Palace shirt, with that coming during a defeat to Tottenham Hotspur close to two years ago, and injuries have prevented him from adding to that eight-minute cameo outing
