Celtic will be without Paulo Bernardo for the next four or five weeks.
Brendan Rodgers has revealed that the midfielder will be out of action after picking up an ankle knock in last weekend's Scottish Cup tie against Raith Rovers.
The Portuguese midfielder came off second best in a tackle that saw him needing to be withdrawn during the first half of the comfortable victory.
The Northern Irishman addressed his squad availability in his pre-match media duties ahead of tomorrow's Scottish Premiership game against Dundee United.
It was here that he revealed Bernardo is currently wearing a protective moon boot.
He said: "Paulo will be out for a few weeks. He's got his ankle in a boot, so he'll be four or five weeks.
"Everyone else is fit and available after Wednesday night's game.

"With so many games, the squad depth is needed. Paulo has done great for us this season.
"What we've tried to do with all of the players is keep them fit by rotating and maximising the whole squad.
"Sadly, he's out for a little while, but we do have good numbers in that position."
Rodgers also revealed that James Forrest stepped up his recovery from injury with some light training.
It seems the 33-year-old will be out for another few weeks, though.
