Glasgow Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has confirmed
that Nigeria’s Super Eagles defender Leon Balogun will be ready for
the Europa League clash with Lincoln Reds Imp of
Gibraltar.
Balogun started in the last league match against Dundee United
on Saturday but he was substituted in the second half after
sustaining an injury during.
Gerrard also lost three players to different injuries in the
game, but he’s optimistic that Balogun will return in time for the
third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League slated for
Thursday.
“We think Leon will be fine. We think we got it before it was an
injury, it was a bit of tightness and we made the right decision to
take him out of the team,” he told Daily Record.

Balogun lasted for 62nd minutes last weekend but did enough to
help the team to a 4 – 0 win over their visitors.
The former Wigan and Bright and Hove Albion has been impressive
since joining the team and has featured in four league games so
far.
