Pundit makes 'huge' Celtic injury claim after Tilio development

Brendan Rodgers has no reason to complain about injuries to his Celtic players.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, former Rangers defender Alan Hutton insisted the Hoops have enough attacking reinforcements to cope with any injuries that come along.

Reo Hatate, Cameron Carter-Vickers as well as new signings Maik Nawrocki and Marco Tilio have all been recovering from injury but are gradually returning back to training.

Both Nawrocki and Tilio only joined the club this summer and Tilio is yet to feature for the Hoops whilst has made three appearances so far this term.

But Rodgers is facing another blow to his squad as Liel Abada is reportedly facing five months on the sidelines after picking up a knock on international duty.

Reports in Israel claim the injury is worse than first feared and Abada could be out of action until February/March 2024.

But Hutton claimed that the Hoops have no reason to complain about their injury crisis.

“I think it is something that managers and teams have to go through all the time, people picking up knocks on international duty,” he told Football Insider.

“I was really looking forward to seeing what Tilio has got because looking at his clips before he signed he looked like a really exciting player.

“They have still got options so I do not think it is a huge worry but nobody likes to see members of their squad get injured.“
