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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
