Rangers striker Danilo has returned home following surgery for a cheekbone injury and insists he will be back on the pitch in “a few weeks.”
Danilo has been instructed to rest while his shiner of a black eye recovers, according to an injury return timeline indication on his official Instagram account (19/09).
The Brazilian striker valiantly stuck his head in to score the opening goal in the weekend’s 2-0 win against St Johnstone, but he had to be replaced due to a collision of heads.
Following the game, Michael Beale revealed the player will be undergoing surgery for a fractured cheekbone, with rumours indicating he might miss a vital six-game stretch.
Rangers are battling on three fronts until the next international break on October 8th, and Danilo’s injury comes at an inconvenient moment for Michael Beale.
Danilo posted a snapshot of himself and his beloved dog on his Instagram stories with the caption: “Back home.” The healing process begins. “I’ll be back on the pitch in a few weeks.”
Dessers’ opportunity has arisen as a result of Danilo’s injury.
According to such statements, we’ll be lucky to see the striker before the next international break, and the circumstance presents a significant chance for the underperforming Cyriel Dessers.
The Belgian-born Nigerian international attacker was signed with Danilo this summer, but the Brazilian has pleased supporters more before his injury.
With Antonio Colak starting to score for Parma after leaving Rangers, the pressure is mounting on Cyriel Dessers and Michael Beale.
Given the stated fee of £4.5 million paid to buy the striker this summer, a return of two goals in nine games is insufficient, and a change must be made quickly.
With Danilo now ruled out due to injury, this run of six crucial games for Rangers represents a major opportunity for Cyriel Dessers to change the tide of Ibrox opinion and start hitting the net.
