After a serious injury at the start of 2022, Yanis Hagi is back on the pitch for Rangers, but the number of minutes he has received is not what the Romanian international wants.

Yanis Hagi was not included in the preliminary list of players selected by Edi Jordenescu

Gicke Hagi gave an interview to the Scots from Rangers Review, and the technician from Farul Constanța talked about a rather difficult period that Janis is going through.

Yanis Hagi was not included in coach Edi Iordenescu’s preliminary list of foreigners called up for the first games in the Euro 2024 qualifying group, but Gicke believes his level will rise next term.

“Yanis was very unlucky to get injured because the opponent was not going to hit him. It was a serious injury… Very serious! It wasn’t just a typical knee injury.

He’s back, he’s been working really hard and I can already see how happy he is to be back. But it’s only been a month since he came back, and he has to be very careful because he’s been out of action for over a year!

You can’t stay off the track for a year and expect to be up to speed on the tactics and especially the physical characteristics of the game just a month later.

During this period he grew older. Even though he had an accident, he watched football and now he understands it very, very well. What if a better player comes back?

I think so! He is healthy and mentally strong.” – said Hyke Hagi.

Janis Hagi has featured in just 45 minutes in Glasgow Rangers’ last 5 games.

€7 million is Yanis Hagi’s market share according to Transfermarkt.
