Kyogo Furuhashi taken off after collision against Aberdeen

Kyogo Furuhashi was substituted after a collision with Aberdeen defender Slobodan Rubezic just after half time.

The Celtic forward received treatment on the pitch after the foul by the Montenegro international, who received a yellow card for his challenge.

Kyogo did get to his feet and left the field of his own accord as Oh Hyeon-gyu came on to replace him.

The 28-year-old had scored earlier in the match as the hosts ran out 6-0 winners.

In the build-up to the match Brendan Rodgers  revealed that Daizen Maeda will be out of action for up to six weeks.

The Japan international was sent off during the 6-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid and the Parkhead boss confirmed that the injury occurred due to the challenge.

Maeda is now likely to miss the remaining two Champions League fixtures against Lazio and Feyenoord.

He also faces a race against time to be fit for the derby against Rangers on December 30.

Rodgers said: "Daizen will probably face up to six weeks out with the injury from the challenge so he has strained his knee ligament which comes when you knock a player on the foot.

"If we went in stronger in the challenge then he probably would not have the injury so it was a clash of feet that just opened up his knee ligament.

"It is a shame for him and for us because he has been brilliant."
