Ridvan Yilmaz will miss Rangers' meeting with Hibs tomorrow - but the injury he suffered on international duty is not a long-term issue.
The left-back, 22, limped off in the first half of Turkey's clash with Hungary having been called up during the last international break.
Fears rose over the duration of the last fortnight that the defender, who's excelled in recent months under Clement, could be set to miss an extended period of football.
However, the Rangers manager says the injury suffered is not a serious issue.
"It's not going to be long, long term," he said. "We are going to see next week. There is a possibility he can be fit for next week but it's still a doubt. We will see next week to make more of an evaluation."
In other news, the Rangers manager confirmed that Abdallah Sima, Dujon Sterling, Ross McCausland and Kieran Dowell are all back in training.
Clement says all four are in contention for tomorrow's meeting with Hibs but will not play 90 minutes.
