Scotland’s Lewis Ferguson looks set to miss Euro 2024 after Bologna confirmed the attacking midfielder has ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).

The Bologna captain was substituted during Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Monza and will now have knee surgery.

“Devastated by today’s news but such is life,” Ferguson wrote on Instagram.

‘I will do everything to come back better and stronger than before. Thank you all for the support. See you soon.’

Ferguson featured in both of Scotland’s friendlies last month and was expected to be named in the 23-man squad for the European Championships.

Scotland will take part in the first match of the tournament as they face hosts Germany.

The news will come as a blow to manager Steve Clarke, whose side will also play Hungary and Switzerland in the group stage.

Ferguson has helped put Bologna on the brink of Champions League qualification with six goals and four assists in Serie A this season.

His side are fourth, four points ahead of fifth-placed Roma, who have a game in hand.
