Celtic have a deep squad at this point of time. As a result, they have done a great job of navigating the hurdles that have been presented them this season till now. But soon, they might end up facing a pretty big one. One of the most important players in Ange Postecoglou’s side might need to undergo surgery soon.
Cameron Carter-Vickers is believed to have been playing through an injury for a while now. And it looks like it might be much more serious than most fans had imagined.
Carter-Vickers’ performance levels have never really dropped despite his fitness issues. But it looks like he might need to undergo surgery soon in order to take care of the problem and be ready before the start of the upcoming season.
As reported by the Daily Record, Carter-Vickers has been playing with a knee injury. And the defender could undergo surgery after next weekend’s Scottish Cup semi-final game with the Rangers.
Celtic injury blow as key player might undergo surgery
Celtic are expected to go on and win the league title from here, even without their star defender. Yuki Kobayashi has done very well when given the chance to play.
On the other hand, realistically, two wins from their last six league games should be enough to crown the Hoops the champions of Scotland once again.
Never say never in football, but it would be a major surprise if Celtic do not win the title from the position that they are in right now in the league table. There biggest game remaining this season is most probably the Scottish Cup semi-final against the Rangers. They failed in the same fixture last season and lost to the Ibrox club. The Hoops will surely not win a repeat of that this time around, as they aim to win another treble.
