Shane Ferguson Drafted Into Northern Ireland Squad
Newcastle United defender cum midfielder Shane Ferguson, who is yet to make an appearance for Newcastle this season or pre-season, has been passed fit to rejoin his Northern Ireland team-mates in Belfast ahead of their World Cup Qualifier against Luxembourg on Tuesday 11th.
Ferguson, who can play either left-back or left midfield, missed the trip to Moscow on Friday with a groin injury, where Northern Ireland were beaten 2-0 by Fabio Capello’s Russian side.
Northern Ireland manager and former Newcastle player Michael O’Neill, speaking from the training facility at Queen’s University today welcomed young Shane into the squad:
“Having Shane back is a big bonus for us. He’s not had a lot of football but he’s had a good bit of work with his club.”
“We knew we couldn’t get him for two games so it was important we had him for this one.”
Ferguson, 21, is a product of the Newcastle youth system, having joined from Derry City in 2007 aged just 16, has accumulated a total of 14 appearances since making his competitive debut for the club in August 2010, in a League Cup fixture against Accrington Stanley and will be hoping to add to his tally of appearances this term.
