Nicolas Raskin injury update emerges at Rangers ahead of showdown v Manchester

United

Nicolas Raskin is unlikely to feature for Rangers in their pre-season clash with Manchester United, according to Stevie Clifford.

Philippe Clement’s side face the Red Devils at Murrayfield on Saturday (20 July) in their third game of the summer, but the Belgian midfielder is unlikely to feature having picked up an injury in the clash with Ajax.

Raskin was seen leaving the ground having been on the end of a rash tackle in the first half and Four Lads host Clifford thinks it is unlikely he will be fit in time to play at Murrayfield.

Speaking on(18 July, 13:41) he said: “I’m waiting on something on that Derek so I won’t say too much about it, but I don’t think you’ll see him at the weekend.

“We just need to wait and see until we get clarification on that.”

 

How bad is Rangers star Nico Raskin’s injury ahead of Manchester United clash?

Rangers have had to contend with more than their fair share of injuries over the last few seasons and the early signs in pre-season suggest that will continue to be the case under Clement this term.

Raskin could do little about his knock against Ajax as he was just unfortunate to be on the end of a fairly rash tackle. The Belgian plays in an all-action sort of manner which means that he is always running the risk of picking up a knock.
