Dr Rajpal Brar has stated that Rangers midfielder Kieran Dowell will not likely return to first-team training for a few weeks.
According to the injury expert, the 26-year-old’s major setback stemmed from his training on a subpar pitch over the winter break.
After the break, he hasn’t participated in any games, and it doesn’t appear like he will be back anytime soon.
Physical therapist and sports scientist Brar spoke exclusively with Ibrox News about his circumstances. He said:
“He had a really serious injury after getting his foot hooked on a poor pitch.
It’s hard to pinpoint the exact damage, but given that he needed surgery, it seems like a serious one.
“As he approaches his return, his rehabilitation programme will involve increasing strength, mobility, and neuromuscular control exercises, leading to increasingly sport-specific demands.”
“I believe he has a few weeks left before starting training.”
Dowell unlikely to return before March?
Although he hasn’t disclosed a return date, it is unlikely that he will rejoin the first team before March.
In mid-January, Philippe Clement himself declared him out for several months, and surgery extends the time frame even more.
This season, the 26-year-old has made just four league starts for the Glasgow team and has only contributed two goals.
In other Rangers news, there is now one requirement that must be met in order for the team to complete a permanent move in the summer.
