Celtic striker Moussa Dembele could miss the team’s game against Rosenborg in the Champions League qualifiers this week, according to The Scottish Sun.

The Scottish Premiership side will take on Rosenborg in the Champions League qualifying second round this.

The first leg of the tie will be held at Celtic Park in Glasgow on Wednesday evening.

According to The Scottish Sun, star striker Dembele is a major doubt for the first leg of the tie due to a hamstring injury.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers will not take any chances with 22-year-old Dembele and will not risk him unless he is fully fit, according to the report.

Disappointing for Celtic fans

Dembele – who earns £25,000 per week as salary, according to The Daily Star – is one of the best young strikers in Europe, and his potential absence on Wednesday evening will come as a blow to the team and to the fans.

The Hoops have to win the first leg of the tie against Rosenborg handsomely, as the Norwegian club have a good team and will be confident of winning the second leg at home.
