Ryan Naderi is currently ruled out of action for Rangers due to an injury.
Naderi suffered a muscle injury as Rangers beat Dundee United 4-2 earlier in April.At the time, it seemed to be a minor setback, but Danny Rohl later confirmed that it was a serious injury.
Ryan Naderi not expected to undergo surgery
Despite him potentially being ruled out for the season, Naderi is not expected to undergo surgery, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.The sports scientist has claimed that this one is a high Grade 2 injury, and he has categorised it as a moderate one.
In his view, while there is a chance he returns to action before the end of May, it seems unlikely, as things stand.
He would need an extremely positive response to his rehabilitation for it to happen.Dr Brar told Rangers News exclusively: “At this point in the season, a high Grade 2, which is a moderate injury, would essentially end the season, and this one seems to be that.
“It is not confirmed yet, as it would depend on how he responds to rehab.
“While there is a slim chance of him returning again this season, he will not require surgery.”How will Rangers handle the post-split games without Naderi?
When everyone has been fit, Rohl has liked to play a 4-2-2-2 system with Naderi and Youssef Chermiti leading the line.
The duo worked on a good understanding of how to play alongside each other, and the attack has looked stronger.
In Naderi’s absence at Falkirk, Rohl decided to start Chermiti with Thelo Aasgaard playing behind him.
That certainly did not work and the Gers were down 2-1 at half-time.Bojan Miovski came on at half-time, and he did well with Chermiti up front, with both strikers scoring two goals each.
There is a good chance that this becomes the go-to strike partnership for Rohl and he does not look to play someone like Aasgaard as a number 10.
If Naderi is back in time, he can fight for his spot in the eleven, but as things stand, that spot is Miovski’s to lose.
