Celtic: Rodgers must react to injury blow by unleashing 5 ft 9 ace
The Hoops have been hit with a possible setback during the international break.
A concerning update has emerged on Celtic attacker Liel Abada as the Israel international has been hit with a possible blow this week.
What’s the latest on Liel Abada’s injury?
According to Israel-based outlet One, the Hoops forward has suffered a muscle injury that will keep him out of their matches during the break.
The report claims that the young wizard underwent an MRI to evaluate the extent of the problem and it has been confirmed that he has torn his quadriceps.
However, there is no mention of exactly how bad the tear is or how long he is expected to be out of action for. That is a concern for Brendan Rodgers as the talented ace could now miss a spell of games at club level if the injury keeps him out beyond this week.
Who could replace Liel Abada?
The Northern Irishman brought in nine new players to bolster his Celtic squad during the summer transfer window and this means that he has plenty of options to pick from.
