GvB shares injury update on Rangers winger Ryan Kent
Giovanni van Bronckhorst has suggested that Rangers winger Ryan Kent looks “fine” after limping off against Dundee.
The Gers moved into the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup after winning 3-0 on Sunday (13 March), which was their fourth win in a row in all competitions.
Kent was involved in a strong challenge with Ryan Sweeney, and he hobbled off the pitch.
He was given treatment on the sideline and seemed like he has damaged his knee. However, the Dutchman has insisted that it’s nothing serious.
“He is fine. He just had a bruise, I don’t think it was anything special,” said Van Bronckhorst, as quoted by Glasgow Times.
“I wanted to take him off just before it happened but he is ok.”
Key player
Goals from Conor Goldson, James Tavernier and Fashion Sakala earned a comfortable win for the Gers at Dens Park.
January signing Aaron Ramsey also started the game and played till 79 minutes.
However, the injury to Kent dampened the mood a bit. Ryan Jack was also substituted with Alex Lowry replacing him.
Rangers need both Kent and Jack in the crucial Europa League return leg on Thursday.
The Bears earned a comfortable 3-0 win at Ibrox in the first leg, but a daunting trip to Serbia awaits.
The Marakana stadium is known for its hostile atmosphere, but the players must not get distracted by it. They have a job to do and Van Bronckhorst will surely work on that.
The return of Ramsey is a huge boost for the Gers. While he is still not fully fit, he can still play a big part as we reach the business end of the season.
