Chris Sutton believes that Filip Benkovic and Mikael Lustig will be missing from the Celtic side to face RB Leipzig tonight.
The on loan Leicester City defender cruised through Saturday’s 4-2 win over Hibs but last night it emerged that he was an injury concern.
Brendan Rodgers stated that he would give the knock 24 hours to settle but according to a team line-up leaked by Sutton Benkovic won’t be risked.
Also missing is Mikael Lustig with Cristian Gamboa coming into ‘Sutton’s side’.

Jozo Simunovic has plenty of experience from playing with Dedryck Boyata last season but hasn’t had much of a look in this season.
Kris Ajer was Boyata’s preferred partner until he injured a hamstring in the 1-0 Betfred Cup win over St Johnstone.
Rodgers has dropped heavy hints that Eboue Kouassi, Ryan Christie and Lewis Morgan will be in from the start leaving Callum McGregor and Kieran Tierney as the outfield players with the most experience of European matches.
