Rangers Striker Danilo Set for Another Month Out Due to Injury
Rangers have been dealt another blow as striker Danilo is set to miss at least another month due to injury. The Brazilian forward, who has been sidelined since sustaining a fractured cheekbone in a match against St. Johnstone earlier this season, is still on the mend and will not be available for selection until late October.
Danilo underwent surgery following the injury, and while his recovery has been progressing, Rangers’ medical team has decided to take a cautious approach to ensure he returns fully fit. The 24-year-old striker had shown promising form since his summer arrival from Feyenoord, quickly becoming a key part of Rangers’ attacking lineup before the setback.
Rangers manager Michael Beale expressed his disappointment over Danilo’s prolonged absence, noting the impact it has had on the team’s offensive capabilities. “It’s frustrating not to have Danilo available, especially given the energy and quality he brings to the squad,” Beale said. “We are taking it week by week, but the priority is making sure he’s 100% ready when he returns.”
With Danilo sidelined, Rangers will continue to rely on other forward options, including Cyriel Dessers and Kemar Roofe, to lead the line. The team has struggled to find consistent scoring form in recent matches, and the absence of Danilo’s pace and finishing ability has been keenly felt.
Rangers fans will be hoping for a swift recovery as the team navigates a crucial period in their domestic and European campaigns. Danilo’s return could provide a much-needed boost as the club looks to challenge for the Scottish Premiership title and advance in their European fixtures.
