Another hamstring issue doesn't look good for his long term future either. Also it's his third time getting injured in 12 months while on international duty.Originally Posted by John83

his hammys are done imo. cant be one to pin our hopes on any more. his game is built on those bursts of pace, that'll slowly waste away with all these injuries. a bit like sean maguire.
Kenny better light a candle and say a prayer that nothing happens to Ferguson or we're ****ed. While he's at it maybe throw in for Cannon to stay and not need up being Scott Hogan 2.0.
Had half an hour for Burnley's U21s as his return to action continues

Great Burnley certainly could do with him
On the bench for Burnley today (away to Arsenal), joined by Josh Cullen.
Hasn't made the bench the last couple of weeks; don't think he's injured, just out of favour. Burnley signed an Ivory Coast international striker from Chelsea today (who scored against Shamrock Rovers in the Conference League group stages in 2022 actually) so looks like even less chance of him featuring you'd imagine.
Hasn't started a league game since Nov 2022. 20 minutes of action this season. I know he's had problems with injury but the move to Burnley has been an unmitigated disaster. Don't know if any snifters of interest for a loan move by the end of the month?
Fofana is the Ivory Coast striker. I was curious whether he was in their ACON squad, which would reduce the possibility of Burnley letting Obafemi out on loan. He's not, and in fact only has 3 caps for them, no goals. His club record isn't exactly stellar either.
2021–2022 Molde 42 (15) 2023– Chelsea 3 (0) 2023–2024 Union Berlin (loan) 12 (1)
Granted, he's only 21, and the stats can be deceptive.
You can't spell failure without FAI
It seemed like Burnley had already more or less given up on Obafemi even by the time they formally signed him, but the terms of the loan required them to take him. There's a good player in there as we know, but he needs to stay fit and show it in training if he's ever going to get a decent chance.
They got him so cheap that a six month loan in the championship and could still make a profit on him if he found goal scoring form. Was it something like £3m they paid for him and Swansea turned down £8m a few months before that.
Reports he's having a medical at Millwall this week ahead of a loan move.
Good move
If he grows up he will be a very important player for us.
Ferguson is the only striker we have that's better than Michael O'
After one sub appearance and one start, he's not even on the bench for Millwall tonight
Can hardly be injured already, can he?
Missed out through illness
Scores his first goal for Millwall, and his first goal for anyone in over a year, away against Blackburn tonight.
Had actually been dropped for the game, but came on at halftime for Emakhu
Edit - and Szmodics equalises ten minutes later, naturally enough

Millwall likely managing his minutes I'd say. After coming back from illness has played 45mins, 72mins midweek, and came on at half time tonight.
He scored!
I believe in this guys ability big time
If he stays fit and acts like an adult I think he will be a very important player for us
He did ok in general through the 2nd half. His pace in behind caused Blackburn a few problems. You'd just love him to stay fit long enough to see how good he could actually be.
Its really not that complicated!!!
