Kemar Roofe in desperate Rangers return bid as Philippe Clement sends luckless striker to Belgian injury specialist

The 30-year-old striker hasn't featured under the new manager and has been plagued by injuries.

Injury-jinxed Rangers striker Kemar Roofe has travelled to a leading specialist in Belgian boss Philippe Clement’s homeland in a bid to get to to the bottom of his problems.

Clement revealed last week he was determined to sort out the 30-year-old former Leeds United and Anderlecht frontman’s fitness issues. And now Roofe has taken to Instagram to show himself at the renowned Move to Cure rehabilitation centre in Belgium.

It’s likely Clement is familiar with the centre which is run by top physiotherapist Lieven Maesschalck who was previously the head of the medical staff for the Belgian national football team and has also worked with Italian Serie A giants AC Milan in the past. Roof hasn’t featured under Clement and while the Rangers manager didn’t reveal specifics of Roofe’s issues, the player was reportedly sent for a scan on a groin complaint in September under the previous manager Michael Beale.

Clement said last week: “(Kemar) probably we need to rebuild. In the next weeks, we need to take a really good look at that because he has been struggling for a long time with the same things. It is important to find the reason for that and not always find the solution to get him fit for the next game and struggling afterwards again and going game by game, but really going to the cause of the problem.”
