The Irish soccer world is in the midst of some serious news, as the talented 18 year old goal scorer Ivan Ferguson, who is in his prime, has said goodbye to the national team due to an injury, and will miss the two crucial upcoming Europa League qualifiers against France and Holland. The team's scoring chances will undoubtedly be weakened, and fans who were looking forward to the exciting showdown between Ewan Ferguson and French star Kylian Mbappe will be sorry to see it happen.
Ewan Ferguson was hailed as the "new Harry Carney" after he scored a hat-trick of goals in the last round of Premier League matches, helping Brighton to a 3-1 win over Newcastle. However, the rising star unfortunately twisted his knee during the match. After returning to the Irish national team, the doctors ruled that he was unable to play and had no choice but to withdraw from the tournament. Ivan Ferguson has played 4 times for Ireland this year, contributing 2 goals, and his absence will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the team.
