Steven Gerrard has suggested Ryan Kent may be missing for a couple of weeks — which could observe long-term Jamie Murphy’s recurrence sooner instead of later.
Before coming off with a hamstring injury, kent lasted just 41 moments on his Rangers debut that was next on Saturday.
Murphy was outside since sustaining a knee injury against Kilmarnock but Kent’s lack and Jordan Jones’ knee problem have abandoned Rangers short of choices out broad ahead of a hectic fixture program which starts with Thursday’s Europa League clash against Feyenoord.
Gerrard has emphasized the value of handling Brandon Barker afterwards he scored his first goal for the club against Livingston having substituted Kent and he’s contemplating bringing Murphy back to the fold in the not too distant future.
“What we have attempted to do here is build a team – not only a team,” he told the club’s official website. “So it is that realisation that in the event that you are not at the XI that you have to be prepared to come back on by the negative, and if you’re outside the squad, then be compelling in practice to enter your 18.
“That is what we desire and we think will bring the best in everybody actually. We endured an injury to Ryan Kent and suffered an accident into Jordan Jones, therefore Brandon made a contribution, which ought to do his confidence the world of good and came on.
“We only need to be careful with Brandon now that we do not almost think he can play every match today – we have to handle him in the perfect way as well.”
Gerrard added:”Additionally, it may make us push Jamie Murphy forwards a bit faster to offer us another option as we will soon be without Jordan Jones for probably another three to four weeks and it looks like Ryan will be a couple of weeks as well, so we may need to push Jamie a bit quicker.
“I believe he’s prepared to be part of the 18, but I am not sure he is going to be prepared to go in and begin games in succession.
“He’s certainly training quite well, and I believe in the last week to 10 days, it is possible to see some of his power coming back, therefore he is definitely prepared to contribute, but I’ll have to handle his moments that suit him and be patient with him as well.”
