Celtic receives an injury boost as a £24k-per-week icon is in training prior to their match against Atalanta.

This week, Celtic will engage in a critical Champions League match against Atalanta. Brendan Rodgers has recently received a significant lift in terms of the

fitness of a critical player. Celtic prepares for a critical match against Atalanta Last Saturday, the Hoops managed only a 2-2 draw at home against Aberdeen in a top-of-the-table Scottish Premiership match between two sides with 100 percent records. The result was disappointing. Although a point was not catastrophic, Rodgers’ team’s failure to maintain a two-goal advantage was disheartening. Celtic now shifts its focus from the championship to Champions championship obligations, as they travel to Bergamo on Wednesday evening, cognizant of the significance of the group stage outcome. So far this season, the Scottish giants have won and lost one game each in Europe’s premier competition. They defeated Slovan Bratislava 5-1 at Parkhead, but they were humiliated 7-1 away to Borussia Dortmund the last time around.

The Hoops are set to face another significant challenge as they prepare to face the reigning Europa League champions, following their victory over the highly anticipated Bundesliga champions Bayern Leverkusen in the final of the previous season. Rodgers will be cognizant of the significance of having as many key players available as feasible on Wednesday, and a significant update has become available in this regard. Carter-Vickers provides Celtic with a substantial injury boost. Cameron Carter-Vickers, a Celtic defender, was reportedly seen training in footage that was published on Tuesday, according to The Daily Record. This indicates that he may be eligible for selection against Atalanta. The 26-year-old was “back on the grass” prior to the Aberdeen game, but was not risked ahead of the journey to Italy, as the report describes it as a “huge boost” for the Hoops. This indicates that they have taken precautions to prevent re-injury. Carter-Vickers’ return to Atalanta would be a significant event for Celtic, despite the fact that there is a reasonable likelihood that he may be unfit for a significant match, as he has not appeared since the victory over Bratislava in mid-September.


CCV, the United States international who earns £24,000 per week, has been Celtic’s most influential defender since his transfer from Tottenham to Parkhead in 2022. Former Hoops teammate Moritz Jenz once described him as “a great guy.” First and foremost, he is not self-centered. He is an exceptional teammate. “His presence was evident as he entered the game against Lazio.” Everyone exclaimed, “CCV is here!” It was exceedingly stable. Okay, the goal they conceded was somewhat unfortunate, as Cameron could have kicked it out, but this is a possibility. However, he is of paramount importance. It is akin to having a refrigerator or a boulder adjacent to you. You are aware that he will be present and will provide protection for you if someone passes you.
