Carl Starfelt is the latest Celtic player to pick up an injury ahead of their mouth-watering Champions League bow.
The Hoops are back in Europe's elite group stages midweek against holders Real Madrid but their storming performance against Rangers ahead of it has brought potential fitness concerns. Kyogo Furuhashi came off early doors after a shoulder injury sustained in the first minute of action.
Now the Swedish defender has come off with an injury in a blow for manager Ange Postecoglou. He was replaced by Mortiz Jenz but at the time he came off, his side were holding a comfortable lead as victory beckoned in the derby after Liel Abada and Jota goals put them in cruise control. Starfelt hasn't had his troubles to seek on the injury front after a problem picked up on international duty with Sweden ruled him out of pre-season preparations and subsequent friendlies.
