Mystery continues to surround Celtic midfielder Odin Thiago Holm.
The 22-year-old was shipped out on loan to LAFC in the summer but he has so far failed to make an appearance for the MLS club.
Holm - signed for Celtic from Valerenga and under contract until 2028 - has been sidelined through an ankle injury in recent months.
The Norwegian midfielder has been listed as unavailable by LAFC in official player status reports submitted before MLS matches.
However, that was not the case ahead of the league contest against Austin FC. LAFC fell to a 1-0 home defeat on Saturday, and again Holm was not in the matchday squad.
Despite having his name removed from the player status report, meaning he was available for selection, Holm did not feature in the match.

The midfielder had been listed as "questionable" in the player status report for the match against Seatle Sounders before the Austin tie.
Holm had been spotted in training with his LAFC team-mates but is yet to play his first minutes for the club under Steve Cherundolo.
Odin is very good technically and as a young player has the ability to read the game well,” LAFC Co-President & General Manager John Thorrington said upon signing the midfielder.
“We are excited to add a player with a dynamic profile like Odin who will help us continue to pursue our goal of winning multiple trophies this season.”
