Alfredo Morelos in Rangers training return hint as striker leaves hotel quarantine

Rangers star Alfredo Morelos has suggested he's back home and left hotel quarantine after sharing an image of him at home on social media.

The Colombian striker had to quarantine after returning from his homeland following a short holiday after his side reached the Copa America semi-final.

It was a frustration for Steven Gerrard that the striker wasn't back but he wasn't needed as Rangers cruised past Livingston on the opening day of the season on Sunday.

The trip to Sweden to face Malmo might come way too soon for Morelos, who hasn't trained with his team-mates yet, with Rangers to fly out on Monday before Tuesday night's game.

But he could then return for the weekend's clash with Dundee United if he gets a full week's training under his belt, and potentially have a big impact on next week's return leg against Malmo.

The image shared on his Instagram page shows him sitting inside his own house and that's a huge boost for the Ibrox men if Morelos is out of his quarantine.

It means he can return to training - potentially as early as Monday - and undergo fitness tests before joining in with the rest of the first team.

With Kemar Roofe suspended for the European games, Morelos could be a huge player for Gerrard with just Fashion Sakala and Cedric Itten available to him.
