Update: “Excellent” Celtic star early injury doubt v Motherwell despite training return

Celtic head into their game against Motherwell on a high after securing a hard-fought point in a 0-0 draw with Atalanta in the Champions League. This result came despite missing key defender Cameron Carter-Vickers, who has now missed six consecutive games due to injury. Though he was initially hopeful to return for the game in Italy, Carter-Vickers was ultimately sidelined, and his availability for the upcoming Motherwell clash remains uncertain. Manager Brendan Rodgers has been cautious about his fitness, mentioning that his status will be assessed closer to the match.

Carter-Vickers has been instrumental to Celtic’s recent dominance in the Scottish Premiership, providing leadership and defensive stability. His performance last season, particularly his captaincy during the title-clinching run, solidified his importance in the squad. Even though his absence hasn’t hindered Celtic’s league performance – they currently top the table on goal difference ahead of Aberdeen – his return would be a major boost as they aim to maintain momentum.

Rodgers and the fans will be eagerly awaiting the return of the “brilliant” defender, praised by former manager Ange Postecoglou for his hard work and influence on the pitch. In the meantime, Celtic’s depth will be tested again as they seek another win in the Premiership against Motherwell.
