The injury is more severe than first expected after O'Shea experienced discomfort in the Republic of Ireland's World Cup play-off defeat by France in November.
Ferguson told the Irish Independent: "He's got a terrible injury at the moment. It's one of those sorts of injuries that are unusual. It's like a dead leg except a dead leg is usually only three or four days.
"The problem is that the blood clot became all knotted and when it gets knotted you get calcification so therefore it's a long process to clear that up and he'll probably miss the season now.
"It's a bad blow for the boy and for the team because he can play anywhere."
