Jordan Rossiter hasn’t reported back for training with Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers yet.
So, it turns out Rangers midfielder Jordan Rossiter is fine, according to a report.
Fans of the Ibrox club noticed that he hadn’t been spotted training alongside his Rangers team-mates as Steven Gerrard’s troops returned to Auchenhowie this week.
By virtue of the fact that Rossiter has made less than 10 appearances for the Gers since joining three years ago due to injury, you can understand why some supporters were concerned about his fitness.
But according to The Record, he was absent from training after being granted an extended break by manager Gerrard.
The former Liverpool midfielder impressed on loan at Bury last season, playing regularly from January to May.
It’s the longest injury-free period he has enjoyed since moving to Glasgow in 2016 and another lengthy layoff at this stage would have been devastating for Rossiter and the light Blues.
It’ll be fascinating to see what the short-term future holds for him. With his contract up next summer, Rossiter badly needs a stellar and injury-free season if he is to win a new deal to stay at Ibrox.
