Celtic ahead of their Champions League match against Atalanta on Wednesday. The American defender’s chances of being fit for the weekend fixture against Aberdeen were high following his training last week. However, he was unable to make the matchday squad, and those hopes have now been dashed for Wednesday’s game. In addition to Carter-Vickers’ absence, Greg Taylor is on the sidelines, as was anticipated. This implies that Alex Valle will maintain his defensive starting position, as Celtic will be dependent on their available personnel to achieve a favorable outcome against the Italian team.

Rodgers will be optimistic that his team can overcome these critical absences, despite the fact that Carter-Vickers’ injury is a significant setback to Celtic’s backline. Auston Trusty is expected to be paired with Liam Scales in Bergamo. In recent weeks, the American has faced a significant amount of criticism. He has not exactly made an immediate impact in the Hoops, despite being signed for £6 million in the summer.
