Rangers transfer news: Injury Expert reveals if blunt trauma to sabotage Cyriel Dessers medical

We’re delighted to welcome injury expert Dr Rajpal Brar as our exclusive columnist. Each week he’ll be giving his views on the injury situation at Rangers...

Any Rangers deal for Cremonese striker Cyriel Dessers is not going to be sabotaged due to past injury issues, claims Dr Rajpal Brar.

In November 2022, the Nigerian striker was diagnosed with blunt trauma in his left thigh and was ruled out for an unspecified amount of time. [Goal]

That injury kept him out of action for a while but he returned to full fitness after it and did not appear to derail his performances.

Scottish Sun claimed on 25 June that while Gers were unhappy with the lack of progress, they remained in talks to sign the 28-year-old.

Should the clubs agree on a fee and he can reach an agreement on personal terms, Dessers will have to undergo a medical before an announcement can be made.

Discussing his situation exclusively with Ibrox News, Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, said, “As for the blunt trauma, he had a contusion to the high and developed bruising.

This can be quite painful and limit function but it didn’t look to limit him after he returned from the injury so it should not cause any issues in the medical.”

Alfredo Morelos will be leaving the club once his deal expires at the end of June and his departure leaves a massive void in attack.

The Colombian has been Rangers’ go to man in the final third for the last few years and replacing him is going to be one of the challenges of the summer.

In Dessers, Michael Beale sees someone who can take over the scoring burden and lead the time to challenge for their 56th league title.

However, things are still at a primitive stage and a lot more work needs to be done before any deal can be close to an announcement.

In other Rangers news, the club have finally received a breakthrough to sign a new striker as he’s decided not to sign a contract extension.
