Speaking about this situation, Dr Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, exclusively told Ibrox News: “The club may take a closer look at his recurring hip injuries from last season.
“He also had an ankle concern, which may also be looked at.
“His game time was erratic, but the positive is that he’s used to the British game, so in terms of adaptation, he wouldn’t take as long as someone from a foreign league.”
Rangers must consider a move for Edozie
Edozie would be an excellent signing for Rangers due to his proven flair and attacking prowess.
The 22-year-old Southampton winger would bring pace and versatility to the flanks.
His capacity to create one-on-one opportunities is ideal for breaking down defences in the Scottish Premiership.
The Englishman’s experience in the Premier League and Championship, coupled with his Europa League debut, ensures he can handle high-pressure matches.
With the Ibrox outfit seeking attacking reinforcements, Edozie’s youth, work rate and goal-scoring potential align perfectly with Russell Martin’s dynamic system, enhancing their title challenge.
