Rangers star Kemar Roofe has been snapped back in full training as he eyes a big comeback in the Europa League Last 16 first-leg clash against Slavia Prague on Thursday evening.
Roofe has been out with a muscle injury since limping out of the Round of 32 first-leg against Royal Antwerp in mid-February.
The 28-year-old missed the second leg and several Premiership matches, but Steven Gerrard confirmed on Wednesday morning that he is back fit and available to feature in Prague [Rangers FC Twitter].
The Gers released a training gallery on Wednesday evening and Roofe was the subject of several images, while he also received his own dedicated tweet, which went down well with supporters.
Roofe is currently Rangers’ third-top goalscorer in all competitions this season with 12 and he played a big role in the Europa League group stages, netting a spectacular long-range goal in a 2-0 win at Standard Liege in October before scoring another brilliant solo goal in a 2-2 draw with Benfica at Ibrox a month later.
It remains to be seen whether or not he’s deemed fit enough to start against Slavia, given that he’s been out of action for several weeks.
However, his return provides Gerrard with plenty of options in the final third, given that Alfredo Morelos, Cedric Itten, Ryan Kent and Ianis Hagi are all also fit and raring to go.
Two key players have been ruled out of the fixture, though, leaving the Gers more vulnerable in other areas of the pitch.
