Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst provides Nnamdi Ofoborh Ibrox injury update

Nnamdi Ofoborh

GIOVANNI VAN BRONCKHORST has revealed midfielder Nnamdi Ofoborh has yet to return to training with Rangers as he continues treatment for a heart issue.

Ofoborh made the move to Ibrox last summer as he put pen-to-paper on a four-year deal and joined former Bournemouth team-mate Jack Simpson in Glasgow.

But his Light Blues career was quickly put on hold after tests revealed a heart condition that kept him out of action throughout his first season north of the border.

The 22-year-old faces a fight to pull on his boots again and Van Bronckhorst admits he is unsure what the future holds amid the ongoing uncertainty over Ofoborh's situation.

Van Bronckhorst said: "I haven’t welcomed him on the pitch and Steven [Gerrard] also didn’t. He is a player who had some problems, still has problems, and it is a situation we have to be very careful about to make sure we make the right decisions firstly for the health of him.

"The process is still going. I don’t know what will happen in the future but for me the most important thing is his health.

"We have seen him and he comes to the training ground once in a while. He is still one of the boys.

"If you see him, he is very good with the boys and also very energetic and happy and I feel really bad for him that he cannot be on the pitch. The most important thing is the heath."
