Highly-rated youngster Nathan Ferguson, who cost Crystal Palace just £900,000 following a tribunal verdict, 'could be out for six weeks after suffering yet ANOTHER injury setback'

Crystal Palace defender Nathan Ferguson could be set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering another injury setback, according to reports.

The versatile defender has had a nightmare 18 months at Selhurst Park since joining the club in July 2020.

He missed the entire 2020-21 campaign with a serious hamstring issue, and was then sidelined for a further six months after rupturing his achilles tendon in training last May.
