Marco Tilio left Celtic earlier this year for a loan move to Melbourne City after struggling to secure a regular spot in Brendan Rodgers’ side, a challenge that was further compounded by injury issues. The Australian winger made just two brief appearances for the Bhoys before his departure to AAMI Park in January.
While Tilio enjoyed a positive start to his campaign in the A-League, including scoring a goal against Newcastle Jets, he encountered familiar injury problems during a recent match against Western United. After feeling discomfort, Tilio was substituted holding his hamstring, and the extent of the injury was unclear until further medical assessment.
Recent reports have revealed that Tilio is facing a recovery period of six to eight weeks due to a partial tear in his left hamstring tendon. Melbourne City are expected to take a cautious approach with his recovery, gradually reintroducing him to action after a series of frustrating setbacks. This means Tilio will likely miss out on international duty with Australia until the New Year as he focuses on regaining full fitness.
It’s disappointing for Tilio, who has shown promise but has struggled to maintain consistency due to injury. The 23-year-old’s future at Celtic remains uncertain, especially after he recently hinted at the possibility of leaving the club. Tilio expressed his desire to play regular football, either to secure a return to Celtic or potentially earn a loan move elsewhere in Europe.
With his injury issues continuing to disrupt his career, Tilio will be eager to overcome these setbacks and prove his worth, whether at Melbourne City or elsewhere. Hopefully, he can regain his form and fitness soon, as his talent deserves a more consistent platform to shine.
