Rangers may have received huge boost as Hirving Lozano picked up flu
Rangers may have received a big boost ahead of their crucial Champions League game against Napoli with Hirving Lozano doubtful for this game.
There were concerns about whether the match will go ahead in midweek after the Queen had passed away last week, but as it stands, the match will take place.
Victor Osimhen is almost certain to miss out after he picked up an injury in the 4-1 victory against Liverpool, and now Calciomercato (12 September) are reporting that Lozano is likely to miss out as well.
Lozano hasn’t trained with the squad due to flu, and he is a major doubt for this game. With two key forwards likely to miss out, it comes as a big boost for the Gers.
The Gers suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat against Ajax in the opening game of the Champions League, and they need to improve a lot from here on.
Against Ajax, it was a dreadful performance. The defence was all over the place against the Dutch giants, and they need to be more compact in their approach against Napoli.
It won’t be easy though. Napoli are in good form at the moment, and they defeated Liverpool in their first game.
Rangers were no match against Ajax, and the players chased shadows throughout the game.
However, at Ibrox, the Gers are a different gravy, especially in European games. Last season, they won loads of matches at Ibrox.
The Gers boss is under loads of pressure after two back-to-back defeats.
They need to turn it around and Van Bronckhorst should focus on getting the best out of his players. Some of the players badly underperformed so far, and that needs to change.
