Kemar Roofe dealt fresh Rangers injury blow

KEMAR ROOFE has been dealt a fresh injury blow after just returning to first team action last week.

The striker returned against Dundee in the Premier Sports Cup last Wednesday after a lengthy time out on the sidelines.

Roofe was absent as Rangers were defeated by Napoli in the Champions League this week and the club have now confirmed he has suffered a fresh knock.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst said: “Kemar was also not involved on Wednesday (against Napoli) but he picked up another injury so we won’t have him for a couple of weeks. It is the same area but a different injury.

“First, it is very frustrating for Kemar. He has had a history of injuries since he came to this club, not only with me but also previously.

“So for me that is the most frustrating thing for Kemar himself because he works hard, he is trying every time to come back and whenever he is back, it is always a set-back within a couple of weeks and that is very frustrating for him.”
