Dujon Sterling to Consult Specialist for Injury Set-Back Ahead of Kilmarnock Clash
Dujon Sterling, the promising right-back for Rangers, is set to visit a specialist after missing Sunday’s match against St Johnstone due to an injury. Despite this setback, there is still hope that Sterling could feature in the upcoming game against Kilmarnock on Wednesday night.
Sterling’s recent performances have seen him leapfrog Rangers captain James Tavernier in the pecking order, showcasing his potential on the field. Philippe Clement, the Rangers’ manager, hinted that managing Sterling’s playing time could enhance the 33-year-old’s overall performance.
In a recent post-match conference, Clement shared insights into Sterling’s injury, clarifying that it is not a long-term issue but rather a blocked nerve that requires specialized treatment to resolve. The full-back’s availability for the upcoming matches against Kilmarnock and Ross County remains uncertain, pending his consultation with the specialist.
Neraysho Kasanwirjo Faces Lengthy Absence Due to Injury
On a somber note, Neraysho Kasanwirjo, another key player for Rangers, has been dealt a significant blow with a four to six-month absence due to an injury that necessitated surgery. Philippe Clement confirmed this unfortunate news, expressing the team’s disappointment at losing Kasanwirjo for an extended period.
Kasanwirjo’s surgery was successful, but the lengthy rehabilitation process will see him return to his parent club, Feyenoord, to complete his recovery. Clement emphasized the strong bond Kasanwirjo shares with the club, highlighting his dedication and affection for his teammates and staff.
As the season progresses, Rangers will closely monitor Kasanwirjo’s rehabilitation journey, with hopes of his eventual return to the team. However, his absence will undoubtedly pose challenges for the team in the coming months, requiring adjustments and resilience from the remaining squad members.
The unpredictability of injuries in football serves as a stark reminder of the sport’s physical demands and the resilience required to overcome such setbacks. As fans, we can only hope for a speedy recovery for both Sterling and Kasanwirjo, eager to see them back on the field contributing to the team’s success.
