Rangers manager Philippe Clement has disclosed that defender Leon Balogun sustained an injury during the club’s commanding 4-1 victory over Kilmarnock on Sunday. Balogun, who started the game, was substituted at half-time, with Ben Davies taking his place on the field.
Clement indicated that the decision to replace the 35-year-old was due to injury concerns. He expressed hope that Balogun’s injury is minor but acknowledged that the player struggled too much to continue, suggesting a potential muscle issue.
“We will see in the next couple of days,” Clement stated regarding Balogun’s injury status. However, the setback could impact Balogun’s prospects of securing a new contract at Ibrox, as his current deal is set to expire at the end of the season.
Balogun, who has made 14 league appearances for Rangers this season, faces uncertainty regarding his future with the Light Blues due to the injury setback and contract situation.
