Busy with youth team Ferguson got the start during Tuesday's Premier League International Cup match against Monaco.

Playing with youth team Ferguson (strain) is playing with the U21 team and recovering fitness, according to manager Roy Hodgson. "The only other one, who hasn't really been in the first-team squad for a w...

Impact Ferguson won't be ready for Saturday's trip to Newcastle but as he continues to recover fitness a return should be close. With the amount of injuries elsewhere in the squad Ferguson could be called upon to play some minutes in cup competitions or even in the Premier League. Ferguson has made just one Premier League appearance for Crystal Palace.

Returns to training Ferguson was back in training Tuesday, manager Roy Hodgson announced. "He's back and taking part in training sessions. They were even hoping, reasonably soon, to get him back on th...

Impact Ferguson is back in first team training after an April muscle injury shut his 2022/23 down. The midfielder is deep on the depth chart but this Crystal Palace side is one of the shallowest in the league meaning Ferguson could see minutes in cup competitions when fit.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers new injury, out for season Ferguson will miss the rest of the season after suffering a new muscle injury, reports The Athletic.

Impact Ferguson simply couldn't stay healthy this season, failing to feature for the senior team. While he's deep on the bench, injuries also played a part in not getting any time, as he's been fighting a variety of injuries since the start of the campaign. Near the end of his Palace contract, his future in the Premier League doesn't look great heading into the summer injured.

Remains out against Leicester Ferguson (undisclosed) will not be available to face Leicester City at the weekend, Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson announced Thursday.

Impact Ferguson has been featuring with Palace's youth side in the Premier League 2 over the last few months after coming back from multiple significant injuries, and it seems he has picked up a new issue that will rule him out once again for the senior team on Saturday. Hodgson said that "the prognosis is we might get them back for next week."

MARCH 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Features with reserve team Ferguson (foot) played 45 minutes in the Palace u-21 side's draw against Manchester United on Monday, according to manager Patrick Vieira Friday.

Impact Ferguson is yet to feature for Palace's senior team this season as he's been dealing with a long-term injury and has suffered multiple setbacks. But he returned to training with the squad in February and was able to play for the youth team this week, with Vieira noting that he's "making progress" with his recovery.

Out against Brighton Ferguson is not in the match day squad to face Brighton on Saturday.

Impact Ferguson returned to training on Friday, but is not yet fit for match action. The midfielder could be available as soon as next weekend's match against Brentford.

FEBRUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Training with team Ferguson (foot) has been training with Crystal Palace "with no stepbacks" for a few weeks now, manager Patrick Vieira told the South London Press Friday.

Impact Ferguson has been out since August with this specific foot injury, but the 22-year-old has been incredibly hampered by multiple injuries during his entire Palace career. He's been limited to just one Premier League appearances since joining the club from West Brom in Summer 2020.

FEBRUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still weeks from returning Ferguson (foot) is expected to miss another couple of weeks after manager Patrick Vieira told reporters Friday, "Nathan [Ferguson] started training with the team. For Macca [James...

Impact Previous indications had Ferguson nearing a return to action, however, it seems the midfielder is still working his way back to full fitness and won't be available versus Newcastle United on Saturday. With the club eliminated from the FA Cup, Ferguson will have an extra week to recover before the team's next EPL clash with Manchester United on Feb. 4.

JANUARY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Close to return Ferguson (foot) "is getting really close," according to manager Patrick Vieira. "In the new year, he'll be starting training with the team."

Impact Ferguson experienced a brief setback during the international break but appears to now be back on track. In any case, he has yet to play this season, so he won't be fantasy-relevant until he receives playing time with more regularity.

Has minor setback Ferguson (foot) suffered a setback in his recovery, manager Patrick Viera informed Saturday. "They will travel with the rest of the squad to Turkey. It's taking a little bit more t...

Impact Ferguson could still be back next week when the team goes to Turkey for some midseason friendlies but he has yet to play this season and one could've hoped he'd be back by now. It will be worth finding out what he can contribute at the Premier League level as he hasn't gotten a major opportunity yet.

DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting to train again Ferguson (foot) is back on the training pitch and is "progressing" according to manager Patrick Viera but won't be ready in time for Sunday's match versus Leeds United.

Impact Ferguson has been sidelined all season due to his foot injury and hasn't made a Premier League appearance for the club since Dec. 26 versus Tottenham. Given his extended layoff, Ferguson is unlikely to jump back into the starting XI right away and will have to work his way back up to match fitness. Even once fully fit, Ferguson is certainly not a lock to feature on a weekly basis.

OCTOBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out with foot injury Ferguson is expected to be out up to eight weeks after suffering a foot injury, reports The Athletic.

Impact It doesn't seem like it's meant to be for Ferguson, who simply can't stay healthy. He missed the majority of the past two seasons because of a variety of injuries and it seems like this season it'll be the same case. The last time he saw the pitch an extended amount was the 2019/20 campaign when he made 21 starts for West Brom in the Championship.

AUGUST 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out after another injury setback Ferguson (hamstring) will miss more time after suffering another injury setback, according to manager Patrick Vieira.

Impact It's a tough injury for Ferguson, who can't seem to shake the hamstring issue suffered two months ago. It's most unfortunate for him because he returned from a long-term Achilles injury in December and then suffered this hamstring injury only a few weeks later, limiting any chance of returning to the squad.

APRIL 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers friendly injury Ferguson (hamstring) will be sidelined for up to six weeks after suffering a hamstring injury in a closed doors friendly, The Athletic reports.

Impact Ferguson is set to miss over a month with a long-term hamstring injury. This comes after the first half of the season was derailed for the midfielder due to an Achilles injury. Ferguson is little more than a bench option when fully fit, and offers little fantasy value currently.

Gets minutes Boxing Day Ferguson (Achilles) played eight minutes off the bench in Sunday's 3-0 loss against Tottenham.

Impact Ferguson was used somewhat out of necessity Sunday because Palace didn't have much of a bench due to COVID-19 problems. The good news is that Ferguson is edging closer to fitness again and should be a bench boost in the second half of the season having returned from a torn Achilles.

DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Still rehabbing injury Ferguson (Achilles) continues to train with the first team and is expected to play with the U23 side before becoming a first-team option. Manager Patrick Vieira told reporters, "Wh...

Impact This is a similar update to what Vieira gave a few weeks ago but Ferguson still hasn't gotten onto the pitch with the youth setup. As such, the midfielder should still be considered out indefinitely at this point and probably shouldn't be expected back until after the calendar turns to 2022.

DECEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Training in full Ferguson (Achilles) has been training in full and will likely get minutes with the U23s in the coming weeks, according to manager Patrick Vieira.

Impact Ferguson needs time on the pitch to be an option again, as he hasn't really played in almost two years. He'll get time with the U23s and then could be an option for the senior team before the year is over.

Working on pitch Ferguson (Achilles) is progressing and working on the field by himself with the physios, according to manager Patrick Vieira.

Impact Ferguson probably has another couple months of recovery, as it looks like Eberechi Eze is a little further along. Returning from Achilles injuries is always tricky and those two will likely be out a couple more months.

OCTOBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Return remains unclear Ferguson (Achilles) has suffered an apparent setback with his injury and has no timeline to return, reports The Athletic.

Impact There hasn't been a ton of information on Ferguson since suffering an Achilles injury in May, only that it was less severe than Eberechi Eze's. For now, it's best to assume Ferguson will be out until the team gives a proper update and he makes a return to training.

JULY 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers Achilles injury Ferguson suffered an Achilles injury in training Saturday, reports David Ornstein of The Athletic.

Impact The injury for Ferguson is apparently less severe than that of Eberechi Eze, but it's still a brutal injury. Ferguson has battled a knee injury this season and didn't appear in the senior team, and a new injury will only contain his development, an unfortunate occurrence for the youngster.

MAY 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Crystal Palace Ferguson signed a three-year contract with Crystal Palace away from Championship side West Brom.

Impact Ferguson, 19, is moving to the top league after being a regular at West Brom prior to a knee injury that has kept him out since January. He's set to become a future starter at full-back for Palace after scoring one goal and assisting another in 21 starts for West Brom this past season.
