"He's not bad," Ferguson said. "He might be fit for Saturday.
"He injured himself diving for the third goal.
He's just caught himself and we thought it was going to be a lot more serious. In fact we felt at one point we might have to send him straight to the hospital to get an x-ray.

"He's got half a chance for Saturday which is quite surprising given the nature of how he was after the game."
Another player facing a race to be fit for the weekend is Cedric Evina.
Ferguson said: "He's just got an injury to his toe.
"He's had an x-ray and he's ok in terms of there's no injury to the bone."
