According to a report, Celtic didn’t have linked-away Moussa Dembele in training this morning.

According to The Record, Moussa Dembele did not train with Celtic this morning ahead of tomorrow’s clash with Suduva.

The Lithuanian minnows visit Parkhead tomorrow night in the second leg of a Europa League qualifier.

But it remains to be seen if the linked-away Dembele will be involved after being absent from Celtic’s training sessions today, claims The Record.

This is a potentially worrisome development amid suggestions that Ligue 1 giants Lyon are weighing up a £15 million offer for the 22-year-old [The Record].

It must be noted that the French striker was injured earlier this month, so at this point there is little evidence that his reported absence from training is related to a transfer in any way.

But the timing of it is bound to concern a lot of Celtic fans.

If Dembele isn’t involved tomorrow night, Brendan Rodgers might use Leigh Griffiths as a lone striker, given that Odsonne Edouard is also absent at the moment.
