Romanian FA technical director provides Ianis Hagi injury update

Ianis Hagi will miss his country's crucial World Cup qualifiers next month, Romanian FA technical director Mihai Stoichita has revealed.

The Rangers star looks certain to have kicked his last ball for the Ibrox club after he suffered a season-ending injury in their last Old Firm game of the season against Celtic earlier this month.

He is out of contract and seems set to leave Glasgow for a new adventure in the summer.

Romania have two huge World Cup qualifiers against Austria and Cyprus and are already up against it after losing their opening game at home to Bosnia.

And Stoichita has confirmed they already know Hagi won't be involved in either game.

He said: "Ianis Hagi will be on the sidelines for a number of weeks. He won't be fit for the match against Austria.

"I'm not a doctor, but he'll be out for a month at least, at least that's what I have been told from the Federation."

Hagi is three caps short of reaching his half century of caps for his country, having made his debut for Romania seven years ago.
