Danilo is going to miss several weeks at Ibrox.
According to the Daily Record, Danilo will be absent for several weeks after breaking his cheekbone in Rangers’ triumph over St Johnstone.
The tabloid stated on its website on Sunday (17 September) that the Brazilian attacker will be out for several weeks after colliding with Liam Gordon early in the game in Perth, where he scored with an amazing header.
Danilo was one of the more costly signings of Michael Beale’s major summer transformation at Ibrox, arriving from Feyenoord for £6 million this summer, and despite a rough start to the season, he impressed in the little time he was the pitch.

Given the ferocity of both players’ headers, it’s no surprise Danilo will be out for some time.
Depth
This summer, Beale’s business was not simply to supply the Light Blues with better talent across their starting XI, but also with depth. With many forward possibilities signed, the Ibrox manager should be able to find a substitute for his main forward.

With European contests starting this week, there is no better opportunity for players like Cyriel Dessers, Abdallah Sima, Kemar Roofe, and Rabbi Matondo to step up and show they’re capable of leading the Gers to victory. With Danilo gone, Beale must demonstrate that he isn’t reliant on a single player to preserve his job.
In other Rangers news, Manuel Pellegrini has stated that he would concentrate on home games ahead of Real Betis.
