Rangers Injury Woes Deepen as Tuur Rommens Suffers Groin Strain
Rangers have been dealt another injury blow with Tuur Rommens now ruled out for a number of weeks with a groin strain. The Belgian will miss the crucial Europa League third round qualifying second leg clash against Jagiellonia Bialystok on Wednesday night and is facing a race against time to be fit for the first Old Firm clash of the season on September 20.
Why it Matters for Rangers
The injury to Rommens compounds the team's misery, with Yussef Chermiti likely out for the season after injuring his ACL against Hibs at the weekend. The Ibrox club are hopeful that Rommens' absence will be weeks rather than months, but the loss of their only recognised senior left back will force Derek McInnes to intensify the search for a replacement.
What Comes Next?
Rangers are thought to prefer a loan while AEK are seeking a permanent exit for James Penrice. The defender spent last season on loan at Ibrox and is in talks to return. A potential return to Ibrox for Jayden Meghoma is also on the cards, with the defender in talks with the club.
Current Form
Rangers are currently 1 point behind leaders Heart Of Midlothian in the title race and have a recent form of 2W-0D-3L (WWLLL, most recent first). They have scored 66 goals and conceded 31 this season, with a goal difference of +35.
Injuries
Rangers are currently dealing with a number of injuries, including Ben Godfrey, José Cifuentes, and Youssef Chermiti. The team will be hoping that Rommens' injury is not too serious and that he can return to action soon.
League Standing
Rangers are currently 2nd in the Premiership, with 69 points from 33 games. They have a recent form of WLLLL and are looking to bounce back from their recent losses.
