Celtic coach Brendan Rodgers reacts and delivers a recent Celtic Injury fitness update on their players ahead of their next match against Ross County in the Scottish Premiership

Brendan Rodgers, the Celtic manager, has provided an update on the fitness of key players in anticipation of the Scottish Premiership match against Ross County in Dingwall on Sunday.

The current status of Cameron Carter-Vickers, Greg Taylor, and Alistair Johnston was illuminated by the Hoops manager.

Rodgers verified that Carter-Vickers, the American centre-back who has been sidelined for the past few games due to injury, will not be available this weekend during this Friday’s press conference on Celtic TV. Nevertheless, the club remains optimistic that he will be able to return following the forthcoming international break: “Cam is still unavailable… We are optimistic that Cam will be prepared to resume operations following the international hiatus.

Greg Taylor, who was substituted at half-time during Celtic’s Champions League loss to Borussia Dortmund, will also be absent from the game due to a calf issue. “Greg Taylor will miss the game due to a slight problem in his calf, so he will be unable to participate.” Following the international holiday, it is probable that Greg will not be far away.

Alistair Johnston, who had been experiencing a stiff back, reported that he was in good health and had trained without incident. “Ali’s fine; he would have come off with a stiff back…” However, he participated in a workout this morning, so he is unharmed.

On Sunday, Celtic will endeavor to resume their winning streak. Johnston’s availability provides a defensive advantage for Rodgers, as Carter-Vickers and Taylor are currently unavailable.

It is probable that Alex Valle will receive his second Celtic start, and it is likely that it is one that is well-deserved. He was impressive in his capacity as a substitute against St Johnstone and continued to impress on Tuesday, despite the team’s eventual loss.

It is probable that Liam Scales and Auston Trusty, who was unsuccessful in Dortmund, will be positioned alongside him. Alistair Johnston is expected to assume the role of right-back.
