SportsWorrying injury news provided on £3.6m-valued Gers ace ahead of crunch Malmo clash
The Athletic journalist Jordan Campbell has revealed that Fashion Sakala missed Glasgow Rangers’ clash with Dundee United on Saturday with a minor injury.
The Lowdown: Gers suffer defeat
After going 38 games unbeaten in the Premiership last term (thefishy.co.uk), it took the Gers just two matches to suffer their first league defeat of this campaign (Sky Sports).
They were beaten 1-0 by Dundee United, a game in which new signing Sakala did not feature.
The Latest: Sakala injured
In an article for The Athletic covering the Gers’ loss to the Tangerines, Campbell provided an update on the Zambia international.
He revealed that £3.6m-valued Sakala (Transfermarkt) suffered a minor injury and was therefore not included in the matchday squad as a result.
The Verdict: Worrying
This is worrying news for the Gers. While the sample size is not yet too big, the only match in three outings the Gers have managed to win this season is also the only one Sakala has started (Transfermarkt). While the defeat to Dundee United is far from positive, it is the impact that his potential absence could have on their next match which will likely be playing on Steven Gerrard’s mind.
The Gers face Malmo in the return leg of their Champions League third qualifying round tie on Tuesday. They lost the first match 2-1 in Sweden and therefore need to win at Ibrox to progress to the next stage. Gerrard will surely be hoping Sakala will be available, but in light of Campbell’s revelation of a minor injury for the 24-year-old, it remains to be seen whether he can play in the fixture.
In other news, Rangers are said to be ready to listen to offers for this man.
