Roma have been hit with another player fitness setback ahead of their Europa League clash with Rangers on Thursday. The Italian powerhouses are now without three key players as they prepare for their visit to Ibrox. Roma have just one win on the board so far and are at risk of dropping out of the top 24 if their form does not improve. As for Rangers, Thursday’s clash is crucial for their progress. The Light Blues are yet to get off the mark and sit rock bottom of the Europa League table heading into their latest fixture. So far, Rangers have lost against Genk, Sturm Graz, and Brann. Fans will be eager to see a positive display on Thursday under new manager Danny Rohl. Roma are set to be without full-back Angelino this week, who has been ruled out of the clash with asthmatic bronchitis. According to Corriere della Sera (via Roma Press), both the Spaniard and teammate Evan Ferguson are not expected to return until after the upcoming international break. Angelino’s condition and ‘less than optimal health’ have impacted him, and he has not been included in the match day squad confirmed by the club. Angelino, who has previously played for Manchester City and RB Leipzig, has been out for the last six games for Roma, including their latest Europa League clash with Viktoria Plzen. Ferguson, who is on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion, is out with an ankle injury, while Paulo Dybala is also set to miss the clash. The World Cup winner has a thigh injury, which he picked up against AC Milan at the weekend. Dybala has already missed four games so far this season with a hamstring problem. Rangers and Roma have never faced each other in a competitive game before this week, so Thursday will be a first for the two sides. If you aren’t headed down to Ibrox for the clash, you can watch the match live on TNT Sports 3 and TNT Sports Ultimate. The broadcaster’s official streaming platform discovery+ will also be showing the action. You can find out more about how to watch Rangers’ upcoming clash here. Rangers hit a positive winning streak under new manager Rohl but they suffered a significant setback when Celtic knocked them out of the Premier Sports Cup on Sunday. The manager’s first Old Firm had a bit of everything as the rivals played out a chaotic derby clash. The match featured a red card, penalty and an extra time period as James Tavernier looked to get his side back in the clash. However, two goals after the 90 minutes secured a 3-1 win for Celtic, who will face St Mirren in the final after they disposed of Motherwell in a dominant 4-1 win.
