Chris Jack has stated that Abdallah Sima, who is close to healing from his injury, might make a comeback to the Rangers first team in the coming weeks.
According to the Rangers Review journalist, Philippe Clement’s timeline puts his return somewhere around this period, as he might be back for the Hibernian or Celtic matches.
He continued by outlining the many benefits Sima’s comeback may have for Clement’s team, particularly in terms of goals and attacking vigor, which have occasionally been absent since his injury.
“We think that Abdallah Sima is potentially not too far away and could be back in the squad over the next couple of weeks, that would be a huge boost for Rangers,” the player said in an interview with The Rangers Review on March 25.
He would bring goals and a little cunning to the team, adding a new dimension undoubtedly. That would be truly advantageous. Regarding timelines, the manager has been quite evasive.
“I believe the original timeline indicated being about this time; when I inquired a few weeks ago, he replied he was on the same timeline. We’re almost there, and if everything has gone according to plan, he ought to be back. Who knows if he makes it for Celtic or Hibs?
Great news for the Rangers about Abdallah Sima’s injury
Sima’s recuperation from the injury he sustained at the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year had raised doubts about whether he would ever play for Rangers again if his recovery went longer than the season, when his loan deal expires. However, the most recent news will be extremely encouraging.
Thanks to his accomplishments since joining the team in the summer—he had 10 goals and two assists in 20 league games before to his injury—as well as his positive attitude toward the team, Sima has swiftly grown to be a fan favorite at Ibrox.
Since Clement disclosed that, despite his present injury problem, he had wanted to travel to Lisbon with the team ahead of the Europa League match against Benfica, the attacker’s mentality has been on full display.
Sima’s agency indicated he was pleased in Glasgow, which has sparked rumors that he might want to stay at Ibrox permanently at the conclusion of the season. However, his parent club will probably determine whether or not that happens.
