Kasper Schmeichel mystery as goalkeeper missing from Celtic training

Kasper Schmeichel did not train with his Celtic team-mates on Friday.

Sky Sports report that the Celtic No1 was not involved at training at Lennoxtown ahead of the Scottish Premiership match against Motherwell. 

It is unclear whether the goalkeeper was simply being rested by Brendan Rodgers or if there is an injury concern.

Presenter Gordon Duncan said: "No Kasper Schmeichel in training this morning.

"Perhaps it is just an extended rest for him but if his absence is anything more than that it will be a big piece of news."

The Denmark internationalist has played every match for Celtic this season and was in goal for the final Champions League league phase match against Aston Villa on Wednesday.

Rodgers will meet the media later this afternoon and will be quizzed on Schmeichel's situation.

In positive news, Cameron Carter-Vickers was back in training with Jota also involved ahead of a possible second debut this weekend.
