Mark Warburton has backed Niko Kranjcar to return fitter and stronger after surgeons reported the Rangers playmakers knee surgery had been a success. Anthony Beauvillier Jersey . The Croatia international midfielder ruptured his cruciate ligament last month in a freak training ground accident and was ruled out for the remainder of the season.Rangers boss Warburton accepts the 32-year-old faces a lengthy rehabilitation period, but is hopeful Kranjcar will make a full recovery. The Englishman told Rangers website: Nikos operation went well, the stitches came out on Monday, which he is pleased about and the inflammation is down.He is going through the normal four weeks [recovery period] and then after four weeks he will revisit the surgeon and hopefully get the green light to push on from there.It is a really structured week-by-week programme, there is no cutting corners and unfortunately it is a very common injury in football now but the programme is set. Kranjcar was injured in a training ground accident It is a week-by-week programme and you cant be doing well at four weeks and jump ahead to eight, it doesnt work that way, you have to go step after step.He is in great hands and his attitude is first class and we have no doubt he will return back fitter and stronger than ever.Warburton has also been left frustrated after seeing promising midfielder Jordan Rossiter suffer another a setback in his fight for fitness.The 19-year-old Liverpudlian is nursing a calf injury, having not played since late August when he hobbled off against Kilmarnock.

His ability is more than evident to anyone who has seen him play this season.The frustration is obvious, but hes working hard and these things happen, these frustrations come with the game.Jordan is very frustrated at the moment, but there is no doubt his quality is there and well see it sooner rather than later Im sure. Rangers midfielder Jordan Rossiter is still out of action with a calf problem Meanwhile, Warburton has sent first-teamers Philippe Senderos, Danny Wilson, Matt Crooks, Martyn Waghorn and Barrie McKay north with the Light Blues U20s side for Tuesdays development league clash with Ross County.Centre-backs Senderos and Wilson are making their way back from injury and Warburton wants the rest of the group to pick up some valuable action ahead of Saturdays Ibrox clash with Dundee.Warburton said: We had a decent session on Monday and four or five of the boys will be involved in the U20s game on Tuesday at Ross County.That is good for them and means they can get some pitch time after the break, that has worked out well for us and they have a good playing surface up there. Philippe Senderos will be in action for the U20 side on Tuesday We will probably look to involve Philippe and Danny from a defensive point of view, Matt Crooks and Barrie McKay will get some pitch time and Waggy will play too.Waggy, all credit to him, was keen to play in the last 20s game, but it was an artificial surface and we were hesitant.They are putting four or five first-teamers out as well, so hopefully it will be a good test and they will look forward to that.We were down to two centre-halves and all credit to the medical and performance guys for working so hard and to the boys for putting the effort in.They boys are back and training with us and they need minutes now, at the moment Clint and Rob have the jerseys but it is about being ready when your chance comes along.Upgrade to Sky Sports now to watch Man Utd v Arsenal this Saturday and get the first six months half price!

SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Fernando Alonso says it is no surprise to see Nico Rosberg leading Lewis Hamilton in the title battle with just two races remaining.Victory for Rosberg at this weekends Brazilian Grand Prix would secure the Germans first F1 title, and third place or higher would ensure the championship battle is still in his hands heading to the season finale in Abu Dhabi. Hamilton has beaten Rosberg to the last two world championships, but Alonso says it is no surprise to see the battle swing in Rosbergs favour this year.I think they were quite equal two years ago when the championship was decided in the last race, he said. They were up and down that year. I think last year Lewis was much quicker and had the championship with good margin.I think this year Nico was very strong, was more consistent, had less reliability issues also, so that was probably a bit of an advantage but I think apart from last year I think they have always been quite competitive.I dont think anyone thought that the championship waas easy for Lewis this year. Johnny Boychuk Jersey. I dont think even he thought like that when it started.We know Nico is very consistent, he is very strong in some circuits, even here in Brazil he was always winning the last two years, even if Hamilton was dominating at other circuits.We know that Nico is a very strong driver, very consistent as well. He normally finishes all the races, many many podiums, so I think he will always be a title contender and this year he is even ahead of Hamilton. So we will see the outcome.Alonso says the two Mercedes drivers are evenly matched and he believes reliability could be the defining factor in this years title battle.Well see if it will be decided here or in Abu Dhabi, he said. I think reliability also will play a big factor because if something happens to one of the two in any of the two races maybe its enough for the other to win the championship.
