Rangers injury news: Doctor issues season-ending Kemar Roofe claim
Rangers attacker Kemar Roofe is out with a significant injury that may result in him not returning this season, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.
The injury expert claims that his previous fitness record and setbacks faced in recovery make that all the more possible.
Roofe appeared to be recovering from an injury and lasted just 16 minutes in the 2-0 win over St Johnstone in December before having to be taken off.
Discussing his situation exclusively with Ibrox News, Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, said:
“Considering he returned from injury and then had to be subbed off after only 16 minutes resulting in what sounds like another significant injury, it certainly sounds like there is concern for him not returning this season.
“You combine that with his previous injury history and multiple fitness dents due to absences and that reality becomes even more probable.
“He’s unfortunately not been able to catch a break over the last few seasons and the lack of match sharpness is telling in high-intensity games, especially.“
The 31-year-old’s fitness has ensured that there are very small chances of him being at the club beyond the end of the season.
His contract at Ibrox runs out in June and while he could stay on for additional rehab, the likelihood of him being given a new deal is close to zero.
An extremely talented goal-scoring option whenever fit, his move to Glasgow has just not panned out as many would’ve wanted it to.
