Steven Gerrard Explains Bongani Zungu Snub for Europa League!

Steven Gerrard Explains Bongani Zungu Snub for Europa League! The Rangers manager has not had Bongani Zungu train with the squad until yesterday. As a result, Zungu watched the match from the bench.

Bongani Zungu only had a singular 1-hour training session with his new teammates when Rangers played Lech Poznan in the Europa League last night.

Steven Gerrard exclaimed that he would have Zungu on the bench pre-match on Glasgow Live.

“I think the key with Bongani now is he needs as much training as possible with the group. He has not trained with a group for quite some time and he has not played many games if you are looking at the previous months gone by.

“We’ve registered him because we want him fit, available and sharp as quick as we can.

“We’ve got him in the squad [v Lech Poznan] just because we have the luxury of naming 12 subs, otherwise it would have come too soon.” Steven Gerrard said.

“The game will dictate who I use, how I use and when I use. If the game allows, he could maybe be introduced for a short time.

“We’ll have to see how the game pans out.

“We want him out there on a Rangers pitch as soon as we can, but he does need time to get up to speed.

“We don’t expect to see the best out of Bongani for another couple of weeks because he needs game time.”

The Glasgow based team eventually won 1-0 over Lech Poznan through an Alfredo Morelos header.
