Rodgers gives injury update

|

Brendan Rodgers is hoping for good news about Leigh Griffiths’ calf injury over the weekend.

The striker missed the goal-less home leg against Rosenborg through suspension but wouldn’t have been fit even if eligible.

With Moussa Dembele out for a month Celtic are heavily reliant on Griffiths, without the former Hibs man a major reshuffle is required.

Celtic fly out to Norway on Tuesday and would ideally like to have Griffiths involved in training that day.

Rodgers will give the striker every chance of being fit but can’t afford to take any chances with hopefully the play off round just one week away.

The hoops are in action tomorrow away to Sunderland with Rodgers using the match to give some of his side more match practise while resting others.

Young striker Jack Aitchison is likely to make an appearance after being left out of the Development side that lost to Newcastle in the Whitby Town Challenge Trophy.
