Injury Updates

news
8 January 2022

Celtic Fans will be happy to see Christopher Jullien, Karamoko Dembele, Giorgos Giakoumakis, Joe Hart, James Forrest and Callum McGregor all back in training ahead of the restart of the league campaign on Monday 17 when Hibs visit Celtic Park.

No concrete news yet if fans will be allowed back into Paradise but I remain optimistic that we will be back inside the stadium cheering on the Bhoys.

Anyone who watched the short video released by Celtic today will have seen the 3 new Japanese Bhoys training at Lennoxtown with their new team mates but fellow country man Kyogo was a noticeable absentee as was Jota both are continuing their rehabilitation from hamstring injuries and hopefully they will be back training soon.

David Turnbull also remains on the injury list and reports suggest that he won’t be back till at least February. Long-term absentee Jullien will be chomping at the bit to get back into the team after missing out on over a year of football.

His return can only be a positive and add some competition for starting places in central defence. Hart and McGregor will go straight back into the team and you would expect Forest who has had a stop start season to be high up in Ange’s thoughts about getting him game time.

We haven’t seen to much of Giakoumakis and Dembele but these players returning will give the manager food for thought ahead of a packed schedule of two games a week with Cup, League and European glory all up for grabs.
