Young Boys facing injury crisis with six players set to miss Rangers Europa League clash

[Craigie]

YOUNG BOYS are facing an injury crisis ahead of their Europa League showdown with Rangers next week with six players set to miss out.

Gers are hoping to continue their fine start to the Group Stages campaign when they travel to Switzerland next week, after they defeated Feyenoord at home in the opening encounter.

But the Berne side have major problems ahead of the game after Ivory Coast international striker, Roger Assale, suffered a thigh knock that looks set to keep him out of the game next week.

And he has joined another five key players on the sidelined list, with the Swiss side down to the bare bones.

Manager Gerardo Seoane will also be without Guinea international defender Mohamed Ali Camara, Swiss midfielder Sandro Lauper, Luxembourg midfielder Christopher Martins and new signing this summer Marvin Spielmann.

But their biggest loss will be Serbian international star Miralem Sulejmani, with the former Benfica winger regarded as one of Young Boys' top performers.

And Rangers will face a depleted side next week, with the hosts looking to bounce back from their opening day 2-1 defeat at Porto.

Meanwhile, Eros Grezda could be on his way out of Ibrox.

The winger was told he won't represent the Gers again, but could leave with interest from Qatar.

Typically when this headline has appeared in the past we end up on the end of a beating.

 

[ElBarrileteCosmico]

Ah...the old 'Euro rivals in injury crisis' classic.

I've missed those.

 

[davyloyal]

6 miraculous recoveries and the press will call them the Aberdeen of Switzerland.

thought the same . i f*cking hate headlines like that

 

[Superrangers]

Typically when this headline has appeared in the past we end up on the end of a beating.

Normally it’s a pile of lies. Has there ever been an OF game where multiple Celtc players won’t not make it?

 

[Bluegenebop]

We have a few injuries as well but have enough quality and depth in the squad to cope and hopefully take all three points.

 

[giogaddi]

Yeah, I'm sure.

 

[Laudrup1]

Ah...the old 'Euro rivals in injury crisis' classic.

I've missed those.

"Young Boys the Cowdenbeath of Switzerland..."

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Good news if actually true.

 

[der_hammer10]

Load of bollocks.

Rapid and Spartak were in crisis last year because of managerial changes.

Still got shafted away from home.

 

[Chambo_11]

Typically when this headline has appeared in the past we end up on the end of a beating.

I remember Valencia being the ‘Aberdeen’ of Spain at the time and we were on the end of a 2-0 going on 5-0 defeat.

 

[ElBarrileteCosmico]

"Young Boys the Cowdenbeath of Switzerland..."

And a quote from their star player saying how terrified they are of us.

Before he scores a double in a pasting of us.

90s nostalgia.

 

[sirstevefleming]

Is this is sun or the rebel? Actually no need
To answer as both are usually wrong

 

[Big Buff]

This is similar to all those teams who face a "Visa crisis" that is then miraculously resolved with plenty time to spare.

 

[MSF]

Only Assale was in the squad v Porto, the rest of them have been out injured for a while.

 

[coplandrearl36]

It’s cover all bases piece, Rangers win it will be against depleted or unfit side.
If Rangers lose or draw, Rangers run ragged by reserves.

I’m getting used to the noise now, I’ve got a40th anniversary this weekend these stories are as old as that.

 

[Craigie]

The Sun. So accuracy guaranteed. Possibly.

 

[DeeGer10]

The predicted injury crisis headline from the Scottish Media.

It's almost as if they run out of things to write so they make more lies.

 

[Gringo]

What a load of sensationalist pish.

 

[alba73]

Unfortunately if they play a rookie goalkeeper he’ll have either have the game if his life or we’ll fail to test him

 

[Jaws II]

We have Aribo, Jones, Kent, Barker all injured and a few carrying knocks.
Is that a crisis?

 

[Albertzzz]

Its a headline used as a pre bash the rangers manager if we lose and try and unsettle the team usual mentally challenged behaviour

 

[Britannia89]

That old chestnut, best ignored.

 

[Tydfo1872]

they say this so that if we do lose the game they can rip on us even more.

If we win though its because they had 6 players out.

 

[der_hammer10]

We have Aribo, Jones, Kent, Barker all injured and a few carrying knocks.
Is that a crisis?

Nah that’s just whimpish Rangers players not standing up to the rough and tumble of Scottish football.

 

[Chenko]

I remember Valencia being the ‘Aberdeen’ of Spain at the time and we were on the end of a 2-0 going on 5-0 defeat.

Mendieta ran the show if my memory serves me right.

 

[Modfella]

Mendieta ran the show if my memory serves me right.

Brilliant display, he tore us apart.
What a team they had made the finals twice in a row getting beaten by Real & Bayern.

 

[Arkanoid]

Heard it all before
Similar to the filth having their squad decimated with injury on the eve of the old firm, be under no illusions a point regardless of their side will be MASSIVE

 

[The Huguenot]

Mind games.

 

[What's the story]

Miralem Sulejmani, him being out would be good news. I predict out of the players mentioned at least 4 of them make it. Usual.

Wee bit at the bottom about grezda hopefully happens.

 

[Texas ranger]

We have Aribo, Jones, Kent, Barker all injured and a few carrying knocks.
Is that a crisis?

I wonder if there is a Swiss version of the Sun ( hopefully for them there isn’t) to report the crisis at Rangers.

 

[Recoba]

Has anyone watched them play at home ? how does their plastic pitch play ?

I have only seen highlights of their games so not 100% sure, hopefully its similar to Ufa's

Was just going to post that about their pitch. Whoever they select will be more than comfortable on it [than us] and I am never confident when we play on the plastic, and that is against the SPFL sides let alone a team with European pedigree. I will watch Thursday's game more in hope than expectation but really high quality astro might just ease my fears, if indeed it is high quality.

 

[DiscoStu]

With Aribo, Kent, Jones and Flanagan you could almost write a similar article about us. Throw in Barker and make another up.

 

[GourockBlue50]

Straight out of the o squeal hand book.

 

[DamBuster72]

Normally it’s a pile of lies. Has there ever been an OF game where multiple Celtc players won’t not make it?

Literally every time. Who is it coming from though, them or a compliant media?

 

[Barrymoped]

I remember Valencia being the ‘Aberdeen’ of Spain at the time and we were on the end of a 2-0 going on 5-0 defeat.

Absolutely. I think they reached the champions league final that season as well, tremendous team at that time.

Grezda.

Heard all this pish before.

 

[Maturebear63]

The will bring in some "Young Boys" to the squad.

 

[ICA_86]

I expect at least 4 of the 6 to play.

 

[del68]

We still have to go through 90 mins against the sheep and hopefully avoid more injuries.

 

[Tpol_rfc]

Typically when this headline has appeared in the past we end up on the end of a beating.

Exactly, will put no credence whatsoever in this.

 

[Kris1872]

Usual pish. Regardless of who is in there team it should make no difference to our performance. 3 points Rangers that's all I ask.

 

[True Blue]

Would certainly take this with more than a pinch of salt.

 

[Coisty09]

Of course if we get an away win in Europe they would have to make sure it is devalued so they do that before the game starts.
Much of this goes back to how long Celtic went without an away win in any European competition.

 

[hms]

Heard it all before

Filed under bullshit

 

[Tamson]

I remember Valencia being the ‘Aberdeen’ of Spain at the time and we were on the end of a 2-0 going on 5-0 defeat.

That’s the obvious one that comes to mind.

 

[90minsofmadness]

And Valencia are the Aberdeen of Europe
