It was pretty clear- Brendan Rodgers delivers key injury update

Cameron Carter-Vickers is expected to be back in the Celtic defence for Wednesday’s match against Feyenoord.

It may be a dead rubber but with one point from five matches and £2.5m available to the winner taking three points from the Dutch champions would be a timely boost for the entire club.

Carter-Vickers was substituted at half-time against Hibs on Wednesday after feeling stiffness in a hamstring, on Friday it was reported that he had undergone an MRI scan to discover the extent of any damage.

Kilmarnock’s plastic pitch is never sympathetic to injuries, Carter-Vickers was missing from the Celtic line up today but should be quickly back in action.

Asked about the result of Carter-Vickers scan by Sky Sports, the Glasgow Times reports Rodgers saying:

To be fair, it was pretty clear but he has just felt a bit of stiffness around it so we don’t want to force it.

He has obviously played a lot of games since he has come back from injury. Nat can come in and do a great job for us and then hopefully Cam will be available in the midweek.

After the performance from Phillips today the calming influence of Carter-Vickers returning on Wednesday will be very welcome.

The on loan Liverpool defender has been selected ahead of Gus Lagerbielke and Maik Nawrocki despite both of those summer signings being fit and in full training.
