Rumour: Rangers’ Dujon Sterling ruled out with major injury | OneFootball

We stress this is only a rumour at this point, we’ve got no specific source for this other than a few ITKs who claim it to be true, but if this is true then Rangers have lost Dujon Sterling for an undetermined time with a fracture or break of the wrist.

As anyone who has ever broken their wrist will tell you, this is a very nasty injury to have, and this could rule Sterling out for a rather long time, certainly till January.

It would be a massive, massive blow – just as the midfielder was starting to seize his midfield spot back at long last, and manager Philippe Clement was restoring him to that best position in the middle of the park, he sustains a horrible injury in training.

As we emphasise, as yet we’re not confirming this to be true, because in all honesty as much as anything else we’re crossing our fingers that it isn’t, but if it is then it’s a hammer blow and sums Rangers’ current injury luck up.

It would also suggest that unfortunately Sterling is another one more injured than available.

There will of course be a presser on Thursday or Friday at the latest, so Clement can clear that one up definitively, but what a rotten blow it would be, because of course we’ve already lost Nico Raskin (albeit he’s starting to approach some notion of a return date) and we don’t want to lose another from that position.

It would leave, for now, just Connor Barron as Rangers’ only defensive midfielder fit, because it’s not Mohamed Diomande’s position and sure isn’t Kieran Dowell’s.

We’re just going to pray to the Gods of football that it’s a false story, and that Sterling is ok.

As we say, we don’t have a confirmed source for this one, just a few ITK claims.

We hope hope hope it’s false.
