Philippe Clement gives Rangers injury updates on 5 key players - 2 big blows

Philippe Clement has admitted he doesn't know if Rangers strike duo Kemar Roofe and Danilo will play again this season after delivering an injury update on his squad.

The Belgian boss issued an update on the fitness of several key players including Borna Barisic, Ryan Jack and Tom Lawrence, who all sat out of Saturday's 1-0 friendly defeat to Bundesliga 2. side Hertha Berlin at the La Manga Sports Complex in southern Spain.

The Ibrox side return to Glasgow this afternoon following their five-day winter training camp and will take on Danish outfit FC Copenhagen at Ibrox on Tuesday evening as they step up preparations ahead of resuming domestic action this weekend.

Clement is convinced his players will reap the benefits of their hard work between now and the end of the season after being put through a number of physical tests and a demanding run-out against the German club in Murcia.

Asked for an latest injury update following the conclusion of the camp, Clement said: "Danilo and Kemar are not here. So it's clear they won't be available for the next couple of weeks, otherwise they would be here. The season has a long way to go, ask me if they will play again this season in two or three months. That's a little bit early.

"Ryan Jack has started to train again but he has a history with these injuries so we have to build it back up. We are still preparing, we're not there yet. Borna Barisic, Ryan (Jack) and Tom Lawrence all missed out on Saturday's game. They did separate training but they are also coming back from injury.

"So we're not yet with the full squad ready for the moment. We know that but we're going to work hard for the next few weeks to get more and more players available."

Discussing the benefits of their time spent out in Spain, Clement added: "They will have the profit of that in the next couple of weeks because the players are going to go really deep this week and in the week to come. But it will give them extra powers for the next couple of months."
