Celtic Injury Update Ahead of Atalanta Match

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has provided updates on the injury statuses of key defenders Cameron Carter-Vickers and Greg Taylor ahead of their Scottish Premiership match against Motherwell. Both players are returning from injuries, with Carter-Vickers having missed six games due to a foot issue, while Taylor has been sidelined with a calf injury. Rodgers expressed optimism that both players could be involved in the upcoming game, emphasizing their importance to the squad despite the strong performances from their replacements, such as Auston Trusty. However, there remains caution regarding Carter-Vickers' readiness, as he did not travel with the team for the recent Champions League match against Atalanta due to ongoing recovery concerns. The Celtic boss noted Trusty's impressive display in Italy, which may provide some reassurance amid the defensive challenges. Ultimately, Rodgers is hopeful that having both Carter-Vickers and Taylor back will bolster the team's performance in the upcoming fixtures.
