Brendan Rodgers believes that Leigh Griffiths is a few weeks away from a return to first team football.
The striker hasn’t featured in any of Celtic’s last three matches and caused something of a storm when he pulled out of the Scotland squad to face Israel and Portugal.
Griffiths decided that he needed to work on his fitness but was struck down by a calf injury and illness.
????? BR on @Leighgriff09: “He’s here in the treatment room. We’ve got ten injuries so our medical team are working hard. We’ll just see over the next few weeks where Leigh’s at.” #DUNCEL

Odsonne Edouard is the only striker available to Rodgers as the season hits a critical stage.
Sunday’s 3-0 win over Hearts booked Celtic a place in the final of the Betfred Cup against Aberdeen in December.
Tomorrow night Celtic are in action against Dundee looking to increase the pressure on Hearts at the top of the SPFL table.
With 13 goals scored in their last four domestic matches Celtic are coping well without the injured duo of Griffiths and skipper Scott Brown.
