Jozo Simunovic has not started for Celtic so far during 2019.
Celtic are due to take on St. Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership tonight, as their defensive injuries mount.
But Rodgers is boosted from the return of Simunovic, who has impressed him in training recently.
“The likes of Jozo, for example, they’ve been training really well, and if we need to call upon them we will,” he said.
“Filip Benkovic has taken a knock, so we’ll need to assess that there. Apart from that, the guys that have been out for a little while are still out.”
As well as Benkovic, Celtic will also be without Dedryck Boyata for tonight’s game.
It leaves Rodgers’ side short of numbers at the back, although they still go into the clash as heavy favourites.
Celtic have managed to keep clean sheets in their last three league matches, even after suffering with injuries.
If Rodgers’ side are able to win tonight they will go six points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, with Rangers not in league action.
