Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has revealed that he feels for Jordan Rossiter after the midfielder’s injury nightmare.
Rossiter has been sidelined for most of his Rangers career but is finally looking ready to return to regular action after a few months injury free.
“I certainly feel for him. I don’t think the kid would want me to feel sorry for him,” Gerrard told the
Evening Times.
“He is not that type of player. He just wants to play, he loves playing.
“He has had a horrendous time with injuries over the last couple of years but he came in for pre-season and started very strongly and was pushing for a place. Then he missed another six weeks with a separate injury and that certainly put him down the pecking order.”
Gerrard confirmed a loan move was a “strong possibility” as he looks to get regular game-time for Rossiter.
If he can come through a few months of games unscathed then the Gers can reassess his position in the squad.
There’s little question over his talent – but if he can’t stay injury-free he’s no use to Gerrard’s side.
