Rodgers provides major Bernardo injury update ahead of Celtic vs Bayern Munich

Brendan Rodgers has revealed Paulo Bernardo should be fit to face Bayern Munich.

The Celtic boss has confirmed the substitution was more of a precaution than due to a serious injury problem for the midfielder.

Bernardo had to be replaced after 37 minutes with Reo Hatate coming on in the 5-0 win over Raith Rovers.

The Portuguese midfielder appeared to be feeling the effects of a Jprdan Doherty tackle in the first half.

A free-kick was awarded for the tackle with Bernardo left in discomfort and hobbling off the pitch.

But Rodgers has confirmed the midfielder should be ready to face Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

He told Premier Sports: "He probably came off a wee bit more as a precaution. 

"He just rolled, rocked his ankle a wee bit.

"He should be okay."
