Brendan Rodgers says Eboue Kouassi is out for the rest of the season with an ACL injury.
He’s still awaiting results on Daniel Arzani’s scan but says it could also be an ACL injury.

It didn’t seem a serious injury at the time but overnight word emerged from Australia that ACL damage was suspected.
If that is confirmed from the second scan it will mean an early end to the season for the 19-year-old who moved from Melbourne City to Manchester City in the summer and straight into a two season long loan deal to Celtic.
There had been speculation recently that Arzani would return to City if he wasn’t involved in the Celtic first team but now it looks like he will be heading to Manchester to undergo rehab.
Eboue Kouassi will definately miss the remainder of the season after suffering cruciate ligament damage in the 3-0 Betfred Cup win over Hearts.
