Celtic boss Martin O'Neill has finally provided an update on Yang Hyun-jun's fitness with the winger yet to return to fitness following the Asian Games.
Yang picked up a hamstring issue early in his Asian Games campaign and did not play again, but he was declared fit enough to be on the bench for the semi-final and final.
Since returning from Japan, where South Korea won the competition for the fourth straight time, Yang hasn't even made it onto the Celtic bench, not deemed fit enough to play.
It's a wise approach from Celtic, given it's a hamstring issue and wingers are particularly prone to worsening such issues.
But there has been little update on Yang's situation since he returned, and fans have been left to wonder when he will return, with the winger having been in fine form before jetting off in early September.
Asked about Celtic's wing situation, O'Neill said on Friday: "Well, personally speaking, I think that Hassan came on and I think that in the second half, he is essentially, his best position is wide right, playing in and coming in.
"I thought he did brilliantly for us going forward, really, really terrific. He caused them plenty of problems, he got balls in, he beat players on the other side, so when Yang comes back of course he'll add something to us, because he was in great form before that.
"He starts back with us on Monday, we'll see how he is before the beginning of the international break."
That will be a big boost for Celtic, especially with Jota likely only a couple of weeks away from full fitness, and the Portuguese star was excellent on Wednesday night.
O'Neill will have serious competition on the left, and it's hoped he will start playing Haissem Hassan more regularly on the right, rather than starting Kasper Hogh centrally and forcing Camilo Durán out to the right.
