Good News For Rangers Fans
Ahead of Saturday’s Premier Sports Club Round of 16 tie against Alloa Athletic, Martin hinted that Dessers will be back in action sooner rather than later.
“Cyriel Dessers’ injury was not as bad as we thought; he is still sore, but he will be back in the upcoming weeks,” Martin told reporters.
“We need strength and depth. Turning to the bench and having players make an impact is great.
“Tomorrow will look different from Tuesday, but we have been preparing, and it’s been good learning for me and the coaching staff, and we are well prepared for tomorrow.”

That’s great as Cyriel Dessers will surely be needed back for the World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and South Africa. as from September.
This is true.
This is good news for the Super Eagles. I am very delighted to hear this.
The combinations of Oshimen and Dessers will be too hot for Rwanda and South Africa.
I wish Cyriel Kolawole Dessers a speedy recovery. I re o. God bless Nigeria!!!
This is true. Combination of Dessers and Osihmen is great. Heaven bless both of them.
Good news. All our star players should please play with caution in their clubs for the next 2 weeks. No injuries, please. It’s sad Ajayi is out injured. Big loss.
Dessers is that missing piece we need upfront to pair with Osimhen or be a super sub. I hope Lookman is keeping fit and sharp too, amidst his ongoing Atalanta/Inter Milan saga.
Please, NO VICTOR BONIFACE. He should sit this one out. Whatever the final squad list for the 2 matches in September, these must be on the list:
Victor Osimhen
Ademola Lookman
Cyriel Dessers
Tolu Arokodare
Chrisantus Uche
Frank Onyeka
Sam Chukwueze
Moses Simon
Alex Iwobi
Ola Aina
Felix Agu
Calvin Bassey
Igoh Ogbu
Benjamin Frederick
Bright Osayi Samuel
Williams Troost Ekong
Semi Ajayi (hopefully he’s fit)
This is good . Heaven bless all Super Eagles players.
