Liel Abada injury update as Celtic winger sent back to Scotland for medical scrutiny

Liel Abada will fly back to Scotland after Celtic decided to assess the winger's injury themselves, according to a report.

The Scottish Sun state the forward will play no part in his country's matches with Romania or Belarus after sustaining a quad injury in training.

Boss Alon Hazan said of the damage: "He felt a pinch in his muscle."

And the Parkhead club want to check the situation themselves rather than let him remain with his national team.

Abada signed a new four-year deal at the end of the transfer window amid interest from multiple European clubs.

A £7m bid from Sporting Club in Portugal was kicked into touch prior to the agreement being made on his lucrative new contract.
