Michael Beale speculates that Rangers will have a double injury boost.
Kieran Dowell and Nicolas Raskin may make their injury comebacks before the end of the current international break, according to Rangers manager Michael Beale.
The Ibrox manager was speaking following the 4-0 League Cup victory over Livingston that secured a November meeting with Hearts at Hampden.
However, Rangers must first traverse some challenging matches in the Scottish Premiership and Europa League while dealing with an injury crisis.
Todd Cantwell, Danilo, Rabbi Matondo, and Tom Lawrence, among others, won’t be seen until after the international break, leaving fans eagerly awaiting news regarding Kemar Roofe.
But after the win over Livingston, Michael Beale made a cautious prediction that both Kieran Dowell and Nicolas Raskin would recover from their injuries in time for the impending international break in October.
By the end of next week, there is a chance that Kieran Dowell and Nicolas Raskin will appear, according to Michael Beale.
“By the time we play, we’ll be playing St. Mirren, but the decision won’t be made just yet.
If not, these are the boys we are dealing with.
Injury hope comes from Michael Beale for Kieran Dowell and Nicolas Raskin
The remarks imply that Kieran Dowell’s injury recuperation, which has prevented him from playing since the first leg of the Champions League playoff tie with PSV Eindhoven, is taking longer than expected.
The summer acquisition from Norwich City was mentioned by Michael Beale as having a chance to play in the match against Livingston at Ibrox.
Nicolas Raskin, however, appears to have received quite the opposite news, as Beale initially predicted that the young Belgian midfielder would be sidelined until after the international break due to injury.
Now it seems the 22-year-old could return sooner than expected, though it’s obvious Rangers haven’t decided on either player ahead of a challenging stretch of games.
