Not only will Rangers attacker Abdallah Sima miss the Celtic match, but there’s a chance he won’t play at Ibrox again after news of his injury surfaced this week. Injury expert Dr. Rajpal Brar exclusively told Ibrox News that the 22-year-old might need hamstring surgery.
Although Sima seemed to be beyond his injury troubles, this latest setback could mean an early end to his season, as he will be returning to Brighton in June.
“I’m not sure if it’s a reinjury, but if it’s just tightness in his hamstring, he might be able to return before the season,” stated Dr. Brar.
“Surgery may be considered if this is a recurring problem that isn’t improving with rehabilitation and treatment. In that case, he might undergo it in the summer and miss the remaining games.
“The club seems optimistic about his return, and while the severity of the injury is still unknown, surgery is still a possibility at this point.”
Will Abdallah Sima return to the Rangers team?
Sima’s status as an injured player at Ibrox is uncertain.
As a loanee from Brighton, his loan spell is set to end with the conclusion of the season, which is at the end of May.
Sima might not play for the Rangers again this season due to his injury worries, particularly if surgery is necessary.
The ambiguity surrounding his fitness may have an impact on his chances of remaining at Ibrox after the loan period.
Sima’s inability to play this season could affect Brighton’s desire to sell him or Rangers’ choice to pursue a permanent deal.
Decisions on transfers can be heavily influenced by injuries since teams may be reluctant to spend money on a player who is having fitness problems.
Moreover, Brighton could reassess their stance on Sima’s future at the club, depending on his recovery and the potential impact on his performance.
