As to Football Insider’s sources, Rangers anticipate that Todd Cantwell will be sidelined for a minimum of three weeks due to injury.
In the 60th minute of the Gers’ 3-0 victory over St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park on Sunday, February 18, the midfield player was substituted off the pitch and was observed receiving ice treatment.
The 25-year-old will miss important games for the team because of a hamstring injury, which will be missed by Philippe Clement.
With a knee injury, Cantwell had previously missed two Europa League group-stage matches and four league games in September and October.
Rangers star Todd Cantwell expected to miss both Benfica matches
He now appears destined to miss both legs of their Europa League last-16 matchup with Benfica in addition to important league matches against Kilmarnock, Motherwell, and Hibernian.
Additionally, he won’t be able to play in the Dundee match before the international break.
This season, the former Norwich City star has made 33 appearances for Rangers, contributing four assists and six goals.
Cantwell scored five of his goals in his last nine games for the Gers, helping the team overtake their bitter rivals Celtic at the top of the table after a poor start to the season.
In the treatment room, he joins people like Abdallah Sima, Rabbi Matondo, and Danilo, but Clement is buoyed by striker Kemar Roofe’s comeback.
After defeating Hearts, who are currently in third position, 5-0 on Saturday afternoon (February 24), Rangers are still at the top of the table.
The next game they play is on Wednesday night (February 28) against Kilmarnock.
