Celtic playmaker Tom Rogic has returned to training earlier than anticipated after Brendan Rodgers had been quoted as saying the Australian had suffered a setback in his return from a knee injury.

Australian’s FourFourTwo website quoted Rodgers as saying that the 25-year-old could be out for “six to eight weeks”, as he apparently suffered a setback in his progress to recover from the problem.

Rogic has been sidelined since the start of December with the knee injury, being just one of a whole host of Celtic players in the treatment room as Rodgers’ squad wears thin.

The likes of Stuart Armstrong, Marvin Compper, Paddy Roberts and Jonny Hayes all remain in need of treatment, but Celtic’s official Twitter account showed Rogic in training on Monday morning.

Rogic has played 26 times this season in all competitions, scoring four goals and adding seven assists before suffering the injury at the start of December.

With just 18 months remaining on his contract at Parkhead, Rogic will be hoping his injury demons are behind him in order to prove to Celtic that he deserves a new deal in Glasgow.
