Minsu Kim sparks Rangers injury fears as star abruptly pulls out of international duty

Rangers winger Kim has withdrawn from South Korea U21 duty due to an unspecified injury; extent unknown.

Rangers winger Minsu Kim has pulled out of South Korea's U21 squad during the international break due to injury. The 20-year-old, who arrived from Girona in the summer, had recently earned his first senior cap for his country but was set to play at U21 level this window.

The South Korean FA confirmed his withdrawal for player protection, with Kim Gyeol called up as his replacement. Kim has been a regular starter for Rangers under Derek McInnes, appearing in all but one league game since his arrival, though he is yet to register a goal or assist.

The extent of his injury remains unclear, and McInnes will be monitoring his recovery ahead of Rangers' return to action.
