We are pleased to have Dr. Rajpal Brar, an expert on injuries, as our exclusive columnist. He will share his opinions on the Rangers’ injury status every week.
Dr Rajpal Brar says Rangers striker Danilo needs surgery to repair his ruptured MCL because more damage has been done to other muscles.
According to the injury expert, it looks like a complete rupture, and regaining fundamental strength and mobility will be the first steps towards rehabilitation.
He is reportedly expected to return to the first team in April after missing the next four months of football, according to reports.
Physical therapist and sports scientist Brar, who spoke exclusively to Ibrox News about his plight, stated:
It sounds as though the medial collateral ligament (MCL) had completely ruptured.
“The necessity for surgery to repair future injury in other muscles, such as meniscus tears or tibial plateau fractures, may also be indicated by the procedure itself.
“Sport-specific activities will be integrated into the recovery process, with a primary focus on reestablishing baseline mobility and strength, followed by their progression and neuromuscular coordination.”
Since things haven’t worked out the way Philippe Clement would have preferred, Rangers may use the January transfer window to sign a Danilo replacement.
He lacks a consistent number nine halfway through the season, and although Abdallah Sima is capable of filling that role, he prefers to play off the left.
It has been suggested that Lawrence Shankland be brought in while Danilo continues his recuperation.
Cyriel Dessers isn’t as high in the pecking order as many would have predicted when he moved to the club because he didn’t get off to a quick start.
