Rangers: Philippe Clement shares Abdallah Sima injury update amid ‘Timescale’ verdict

Since scoring in a 3-1 victory over Kilmarnock on Tuesday, January 2, the Brighton loanee has not played a single minute for the Gers due to a thigh injury sustained while playing for Senegal on international duty. Clement stated at the end of January that he had been absent for two to three months after a successful surgery to address the problem. The Belgian manager declared, “He’s good,” in an interview with Rangers Review on Friday, March 1. becoming increasingly better. Regarding Sima’s state, Clement stated, “He’s on schedule.”

“I think it’s a little early to set a timeline on that. However, he will be playing on the grass without a ball for the first time next week. Thus, such is his typical schedule.

Could Abdallah Sima make a Rangers return before season’s end?

Since coming to Ibrox from Brighton last summer, the 22-year-old has been an intimidating prospect, intimidating opponents with his quickness, directness, and goal-scoring ability. The winger is still the club’s third-highest scorer this season with 15 goals in 33 appearances; only James Tavernier and Cyriel Dessers have scored more.The news that Rangers’ star attacker had sustained an injury while overseas at the 2023 African Cup of Nations made fans nervous, but there was bright news at Ibrox during the January transfer window.

Before making a permanent move in the summer, Oscar Cortes from Lens and Mohamed Diomande from Nordsjaelland, who were both brought in on loan, have both made an immediate impact in Scotland. With Rabbi Matondo and Danilo’s injuries previously known, the former has now had an injury of his own, leaving Clement slightly light on his left side.

Sima’s return would be well appreciated at Ibrox as the Gers attempt to win the Europa League and their second Scottish Premiership trophy in the previous ten years. But it seems like there’s still work to be done before he can rejoin Clement’s team.
