Lewis Ferguson Credits “Scottish Mentality” for Rapid Injury Comeback

Lewis Ferguson, who has been out of action since April, attributes his swift recovery from a severe knee injury to a “Scottish mentality” as he prepares for a likely return to the field on Tuesday. The 25-year-old Bologna captain suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in April, which subsequently ruled him out of contention for a place in Scotland’s Euro 2024 squad this summer. Nevertheless, the former Aberdeen midfielder has been named in his club’s matchday squad for the first time since undergoing surgery, as his team prepares for an away fixture against Cagliari in Serie A. Speaking to club media, Ferguson remarked: “I just want to return as strong as possible. I want to have the same feelings that I had last season when I played. “This is just the nature of a Scottish player – we have the desire and the will to win. This is just the Scottish mentality.”You work hard and fight every day to become better.”” The injury prevented Ferguson from participating in Bologna’s Champions League campaign, which included 2-0 defeats away to Liverpool and Aston Villa, following their impressive fifth-place finish in Serie A last season. His return is well-timed, given that Vincenzo Italiano’s side has gone five games without a win and currently holds the 12th spot in Italy’s top division.
