Celtic midfielder Paulo Bernardo faces a possible absence of four to five weeks following an ankle injury sustained in a Cup match. His injury limits manager Brendan Rodgers' midfield rotation options ahead of a crucial Scottish Premiership match and a Champions League tie. Meanwhile, winger James Forrest has returned to training, though he still isn't ready for match play. Rodgers emphasized the need for high physical standards due to the demanding schedule and praised his team's resilience through an intense fixture list.
Paulo will be out for a few weeks. He's got his ankle in a boot, so maybe four or five weeks," said manager Brendan Rodgers.
Every game is important here. It's been a real unrelenting schedule but the players have been brilliant," he added.
I also know we need to be at a good physical level for Saturday's game," Rodgers stated.
You can't not look at Tuesday because the turnaround is so fast. And we know that we'll have to be at a real high level physically for that game."
