Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has provided an injury report after a bruising international break for several of the Hoops stars.
Many featured for their nations and some like Kyogo Furuhashi, Reo Hatate, and Daizen Maeda have a spot at the World Cup on their minds. But the latter sparked injury concern after a reported thigh injury, adding to concerns over Sead Haksabanovic, David Turnbull, Giorgos Giakoumakis, and Cameron Carter-Vickers on their own fitness problems.
Maeda and Turnbull have trained ahead of Saturday's Premiership match against Motherwell at Parkhead but there is less good news on the front of the others. That pair will make the match but their influential American defender and Greek striker will miss the match in a pre-match blow alongside Swedish defender Carl Starfelt.

Manager Ange Postecoglou will be hoping his side can bounce back from a shock pre-break defeat at the hands of St Mirren.
A rotated Hoops side lost out 2-0 in Paisley and they'll seek a return to form against a Motherwell side under new management in Steven Hammell.
It kicks off a mammoth run of 13 games in six weeks for Postecoglou's team and this is the first of three meetings with the Steelmen in that flurry.
