Celtic midfielder Scott Brown is reportedly going to miss Brendan Rodgers’ side’s next three matches.

Scott Brown of Celtic is seen during the Scott Brown testimonial match between Celtic and Republic of Ireland XI at Celtic Park on May 20, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

According to the Scottish Sun, Celtic have been ‘rocked’ by the news that Scott Brown is set to miss the next three matches.

Brown damaged his calf at the weekend against Hibernian and had scans on the problem yesterday.

Although the injury is not too severe, it is set to keep Brown out for Celtic’s next three matches.

And Brendan Rodgers’ plans are sure to be impacted by his captain’s absence.

Brown plays such a key role for Celtic that the news he is out is said to have been a ‘hammer blow’ to Rodgers.

Celtic face matches against RB Leipzig, Hearts and Dundee in the next three weeks, which Brown is set to miss.

The Bhoys could miss Brown the most tomorrow night in Germany, when they are set to have to defend a lot against an impressive Leipzig side.
