Nigeria and Rangers defender, Leon Balogun pulled out injured during the warm up ahead of the side’s home clash against Dundee United on Saturday, reports Completesports.com.

Balogun was named in the starting line-up but was replaced by Filip Helander after the setback.

The Nigeria international picked up an injury in Rangers’ home win against St Johnstone last month and missed the games against Livingston and Kilmarnock.

He however made the bench in their previous game against Hamilton Academical.

It remain to be seen if the latest injury will keep him out of Nigeria’s friendlies against Ivory Coast and Tunisia month.

Balogun’s international teammate has already been ruled out for up to six weeks.
