Hopes are high that Evan Ferguson’s season isn’t over following initial results from medical scans on the injury inflicted by Liverpool’s Fabinho on Sunday.

The 18-year-old Brighton and Hove Albion striker required lengthy treatment before hobbling off following the challenge from behind that erroneously earned only a booking for the Brazilian.
