It’s unfortunate news for Zak Lovelace and Rangers as the young attacker is set to be sidelined due to a hamstring tear. Dr. Rajpal Brar, an injury expert, suggests that the injury could be a Grade 3 tear, which typically requires a longer recovery period. The conservative approach taken by the club is understandable, especially considering Lovelace’s previous injury history in the same area.
According to Dr. Brar, Lovelace will initially focus on lower-level strength and mobility work to aid in his recovery. As he progresses, he will gradually move to higher intensity training, eventually transitioning to individual and team training sessions by the end of April or early May. This timeline gives an insight into the rehabilitation process Lovelace will undergo before returning to full first-team training.
Lovelace’s injury woes have been ongoing, with a previous long-term setback earlier in the season also related to his hamstring. These repeated injuries can be frustrating for both the player and the club, as they disrupt his development and ability to contribute to the team consistently.
For Lovelace, patience and a diligent approach to rehabilitation will be crucial in ensuring a full recovery and minimizing the risk of future injuries. Rangers will also need to manage his workload and reintroduction to first-team action carefully once he is cleared to play again, to prevent any recurrence of hamstring issues.
He made his debut back in 2022 but will now have to wait at least until May to play his next game for the club.
In other Rangers news, a major shake-up has been mooted by Gers and Celtic after what happened recently in the transfer market.
