Carl Starfelt and Jota Celtic injury update as pair spotted in training ahead of Champions League clash

CELTIC have been handed an injury boost ahead of their Champions League tie with Shakhtar Donetsk.

Defender Carl Starfelt and David Turnbull are training with the squad this morning, while Jota has also been spotted on the training field.

The Portuguese winger trained on his own, so it looks as if tomorrow's European showdown will come too early for him.

Starfelt has not featured since picking up an injury against Rangers in early September, so will be a welcome return to the side.

Turnbull was struggling with an ankle knock, but he looks set to return against Shakhtar.

Postecoglou's team will be aiming to keep their European campaign alive as they take on their Ukrainian opponents.

The Hoops are already out of the Champions League, but results against Shakhtar and Real Madrid in their final game could secure Europa League football.
