Luis Palma may miss the next month due to a leg ailment, which has caused Celtic to face yet another injury concern.
Although it was expected that the winger would not be available for Saturday’s Premiership match against St Johnstone, there are now concerns that he might miss Celtic’s next two games, which are at home against Rangers on April 7 and away to Livingston on March 31. The winger was not present for Celtic’s 4-2 Scottish Cup victory over Livingston last week. The Honduran Football Association claims that Palma may miss up to four weeks of action due to injury, as confirmed by Celtic’s medical examinations. As a result, he will have to battle to be fit for the Old Firm match the following month.
Celtic already have injury concerns over defender Cameron Carter-Vickers (hamstring) plus midfielders Reo Hatate (calf) and Callum McGregor (Achilles), although it is hoped that all three will be fit and available after the international break.
