The extent of Nicolas Raskin’s injury has dealt a significant blow to the Rangers. The Belgian midfielder was forced to leave the field after a tough challenge from Branco van den Boomen during a friendly match against Ajax. He was later spotted leaving the venue on crutches and wearing a protective boot, causing immediate concern for manager Philippe Clement. However, after receiving the prognosis from a scan, Raskin’s recovery timeline is not as dire as initially feared. Despite this, his absence for six weeks will be a setback at the start of the season, particularly in a position with limited options. Clement acknowledges that Raskin’s absence will be felt, especially given the ongoing injuries to captain James Tavernier and Todd Cantwell. Tavernier is nearing a return to training with the team, while Cantwell is training with the team but not yet ready for first-team action.
