Rangers have been handed a big boost as a behind-the-scenes update has emerged on Alfredo Morelos...
What's the latest?
The Daily Record have reported on the striker's recovery and shared an image of him working out at the Gers training ground, taken from footage posted by the player himself on his Instagram story on Tuesday.
Instead of going away on holiday or spending downtime with his family after the end of the 2021/22 campaign last month, Morelos is continuing to work hard to make sure he is fit in time for the start of next season.
He has been out of action since March with a thigh injury, with a Rangers statement at the time of the news reading:
"Our medical team are pleased with the outcome of the operation and his rehabilitation programme is underway.
"He will return to training with the First Team squad during pre-season."
Supporters will be excited
The Ibrox supporters will surely be excited by the image, and the footage from his account, as it shows that he is willing to put in the hard work over the summer break to put himself in the best possible condition for the 2022/23 campaign.
He could have jetted away to a sunny location and eased up on his recovery for a few weeks. Instead, he is at the training ground and putting the hours in to make sure that he is back on schedule and available for selection come the start of pre-season - as initially mapped out by the club.
The fans will love this decision from the Colombian and it will hopefully be a big boost to the club by speeding up his comeback. Morelos is a crucial player for the Light Blues and having him fit for competitive action in July is an exciting prospect.
In the 2021/22 campaign, he caught the eye domestically and in Europe as he consistently delivered at the top end of the pitch.
In the Premiership, he averaged a SofaScore rating of 7.32 as he scored 11 goals and provided seven assists for Steven Gerrard and van Bronckhorst combined. He also scored four goals in eight Europa League starts as he averaged a rating of 7.12.
He has proven that he can have a significant impact on games with his ability to score and create goals and this is why the supporters will be excited for his return, which may be sped up by his willingness to work during the off-season.
