"He's injured in a way. It's not a serious injury," Clement told Rangers TV.
"But he has a blocked nerve and because of that he cannot make the acceleration so you cannot play football, of course.
"It's something we will need to solve in the next couple of days with the specialist.
"It will not be a long-term injury, that's why he's not in the selection."
