Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has revealed Joe Aribo is not suffering from coronavirus and should be available for selection when they take on Falkirk in Sunday’s Scottish League Cup tie.
The Nigeria international was not involved as the Gers played out a 2-2 draw against Benfica at Ibrox Stadium in the Europa League on Thursday night.
Gerrard explained the midfielder’s unavailability for the encounter was not due to Covid-19 but to illness.
The Super Eagles star is expected to join the rest of his teammates in training on Saturday and could play a part against the Bairns.
“He was unwell. He had a stomach complaint last night. The plan was for Joe to be involved, he’s had a stomach complaint so he’ll be getting some checks and assessing him, hopefully, he will be available for the weekend,” Gerrard told the media.
“It’s important to say it is not Covid-related. He was negative on his test before people start putting two and two together.”
“Joe Aribo is better today and hopeful he arrives back into training tomorrow.”
Aribo has only featured in 11 games, scoring four goals for Rangers across all competitions this season due to injury problems. (Goal)
