Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha has confirmed that Emerson Hyndman will be out for Sunday’s Premiership fixture against Partick Thistle.

It is understood the 21-year-old has sustained a foot injury which could potentially rule him out for the remainder of the season – meaning he will not play again for the Scottish club.

The United States international has made 17 appearances for the Gers since January, netting four goals in the process.

Rangers boss Caixinha is doubtful regrading Hyndman’s recovery and reveals that he has not trained with the team all week.

“Just Emerson, we are still assessing,” the club’s official website quotes him as saying.

“I was speaking with the doctor before but he could not train with us for the whole week, so we just need to have the final result from one analysis that he did.

“But supposedly he cannot play now and he cannot play more until the end of the season.”

Hyndman, who is currently on loan from Bournemouth, will be expected to return to his parent club at the end of the season with Eddie Howe uninterested in letting the playmaker relocate permanently.

Having most recently suffered a humiliating 5-1 defeat to Celtic, Caixinha’s men will be looking for a more positive result against the Jags, who are currently sixth in the Scottish Premiership.

Caixinha is gearing up for a busy summer in the transfer market, with Rangers set to overhaul their squad before next season.
