Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic side are set to take on Red Bull Leipzig later this evening.
Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that he is recalling Youssouf Mulumbu to Celtic’s squad to take on Red Bull Leipzig this evening.
Mulumbu has missed Celtic’s last four matches with injury, but he is expected to be fit for their Europa League clash at Parkhead later.
The powerful midfielder has impressed in training over the week, with Rodgers feeling he could have a part to play against Leipzig.
Mulumbu has had a slow start at Celtic since arriving, as he has played just twice across all competitions.
The experienced enforcer has suffered with injury and generally only been used as a reserve option.
Mulumbu is likely to start on the substitutes’ bench for Celtic tonight, but his defensive qualities could be utilised if Rodgers’ side can pick up a victory.
Celtic really need the three points this evening, as they have struggled in European action so far.
The Bhoys have picked up just three points from their first three matches in the Europa League, and if they are to lose tonight, they could be eliminated at the group stage.
