Celtic have received a significant boost ahead of a crucial week, as Cameron Carter-Vickers has regained fitness. The 26-year-old had suffered a toe injury early in the season, with his last appearance coming in the UEFA Champions League victory over Slovan Bratislava.
Now, the central defender is training at Lennoxtown and may be ready to feature in upcoming matches against Aberdeen, Atalanta, and Motherwell.
According to *Record Sport*, manager Brendan Rodgers is weighing whether to start Carter-Vickers in the top-of-the-table clash against The Dons or to bring him off the bench to build up minutes before Matchday Three in the UCL.
It remains to be seen if Carter-Vickers will start on Saturday or if Rodgers will stick with Auston Trusty and Liam Scales as they manage his return. The trip to Bergamo could be a likely target for the US international to start, especially since his absence was noticeable in Dortmund.
Both Scales and Trusty are left-sided defenders, so bringing in a right-sided player would add balance. It’s evident that Rodgers sought an additional defender to challenge Scales and pair with Carter-Vickers in the backline.
