Image for Rodgers reveals new injury blow

Brendan Rodgers is facing another defensive reshuffle for tonight’s match against Dundee.

After coming in to replace Stephen Welsh against Motherwell on Sunday the former Legia Warsaw man had to come off after an hour to be replaced by Cameron Carter-Vickers.

The former Spurs man has been plagued by injuries all season but looks like starting against Dundee tonight with the countdown underway in the race to the SPFL title.

How is the squad looking injury-wise? There is a suggestion that Maik Nawrocki is injured. Is that true?

Yes. He has picked up a niggle and felt his hamstring in the game so that will set him out, I don’t think for too long, but a period of time.

Is Cameron Carter-Vickers ready to come back in from the start or will he need managing?

Carter-Vickers will need managing but he is ready to start if need be. You see the difference when he comes into the game at the weekend. He’s a top operator but we just have to be mindful of his minutes and his time.

Fortunately Liam Scales has been injury free, playing in every match since he came into the side at home to St Johnstone at the end of August.

Gus Lagerbielke remains on the sidelines after Celtic pulled out of his loan move to Lecce but the Swede hasn’t featured in a matchday squad since the winter break.

With Hearts coming up at Tynecastle on Sunday Rodgers will be anxious for Carter-Vickers and Welsh to come through tonight’s match without injury.
