As Brendan Rodgers prepares to address the media on Friday ahead of Celtic’s upcoming match against St Johnstone, several pressing questions loom, particularly regarding the team’s injury situation.

The Honduras FA have said that Palma will be out for about four weeks, potentially ruling him out for the derby. There was positive news midweek from Brendan Rodgers regarding Carter-Vickers, who should’ve joined back training on Thursday.
With the international break on the horizon, Celtic fans are eager for updates on key players whose availability could significantly influence the team’s performance in the crucial stages of the season.
- Callum McGregor’s Condition: The Celtic captain’s fitness has been a subject of speculation, with mixed reports about the severity of his injury. Fans are anxious to know: What’s the latest on Callum McGregor? Is there a chance he’ll return to action after the international break, or are the rumours about his season being prematurely over accurate?
- Reo Hatate’s Return: There’s optimism around Reo Hatate’s potential comeback, with reports suggesting he could be available for the match against Livingston following the international break. Can Rodgers confirm these reports? Hatate’s creativity and energy in the midfield have been sorely missed, and his return could provide a significant boost to Celtic’s title hopes.
- Yuki Kobayashi’s Future: Confusion surrounds Yuki Kobayashi, with Japanese media initially reporting a loan move that was later debunked. Supporters are curious about the defender’s status and future with Celtic. What can Rodgers clarify about Kobayashi’s situation? Is he part of Celtic’s plans moving forward, or might he still secure a move away from the club?
