Filip Benkovic has potentially played his last game for Celtic.
Filip Benkovic is reportedly out for the season – and Celtic fans are worried.
The Leicester City loanee has been a rock since joining Celtic on a season-long loan in August.
But according to The Scottish Sun, Benkovic has potentially played his last game for the Hoops after suffering a ‘leg injury’ in the 3-0 win over Hamilton.
With Dedryck Boyata also out, it leaves Brendan Rodgers needing to use a combination of Kristoffer Ajer – who was brilliant on Saturday – and Jozo Simunovic for now.
Here’s how Celtic fans reacted to the Benkovic reports.
If true, it is almost certainly his last game. Leicester paid £13 million [Sky Sports] to sign Benkovic last summer, meaning that a permanent switch from the King Power is unlikely to be on the cards.
It also means that Rodgers must use the next few days of the transfer window to sign a top-drawer replacement, but is it too late? Time will only tell.
