Celtic ace good be fit to play in the Champions League clash against Anderlecht.
Celtic striker Moussa Dembele suffered an ankle injury in the Betfred League Cup final and missed Wednesday night’s game against Motherwell.
Dembele is a key player for Rodgers, and he brings a different quality to the side. According to reports from Herald Scotland, the French striker could be set for a return to the starting line-up in time for Tuesday night’s UEFA Champions League clash against Anderlecht.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that both Dembele and Nir Bitton were out with the rehab team, and that he expects the Frenchman to play his part in the upcoming Champions League tie.
“Moussa was out on the pitch on Wednesday and Thursday, although not with the team,” said Rodgers, as quoted the Herald Scotland. “He and Nir Bitton were out with the rehab team so we’ll see how he is tomorrow – but he’s got a good chance for Tuesday night.
“Just from looking at him over the last couple of days and reports from the medical team I’d say he has a good chance.”
The 21-year-old is arguably one of the best strikers in the Scottish Premier League, and his return to the Celtic squad will be a timely boost for the Bhoys.
Celtic are third in their Champions League group behind Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich with three points on board. But should be looking to end the campaign on a high with a win over Anderlecht.
