Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has been soaking up the sun in Colombia as he takes advantage of a break in the season to get back home with his family.
Morelos has come under fire for his form and fitness this season and sparked the fury of fans with a dismal display against St Mirren, a game that saw Gers drop points again and fall nine points behind rivals Celtic. It was the latest setback in what has been a rough season so far for the 26-year-old, who was bombed out of the squad to face PSV and has since lost his spot as an automatic starter to Antonio Colak.
He was unlikely to have been called up for Colombia had they made it to Qatar but they failed to qualify anyway, and the Rangers stars not going to the World Cup are taking the opportunity for a short mid-season break. While manager Gio van Bronckhorst heads back to Holland, Morelos also jetted back home and has been spending time at the Bethel Playa Mayapo in Northern Colombia.
He'll be hoping to return from the break rejuvenated and snaps shared by his partner Yesenia on her Instagram story showed the two lounging on the beach. One shows them cheers-ing with a pair of cocktails as they soak up the Colombian rays.
Morelos has just three goals in 19 appearances this season and looks increasingly likely to leave when his contract expires in the summer - if not before. Colak, conversely, appears to be the main man with 14 goals in 24 games, and Morelos will need to step up his game after returning from holiday if he wants to stand any chance of knocking the firing Croatian off his perch.
