Celtic captain Callum McGregor is doubtful for the critical match against Hearts on Sunday, following an Achilles and calf issue that saw him miss training on Friday.
The situation raises alarm within the Celtic camp, as manager Brendan Rodgers told CelticTV, “Callum came off at half-time during the week; he felt his Achilles a little bit and his calf…we just have to assess that and see where he is at over the next 24 hours.”
If Celtic are without their captain, it would be a massive blow. With the Scottish Premiership title race intensifying and only ten games remaining, the timing of McGregor’s injury concern is particularly troubling for Celtic.
His leadership and influence on the field are crucial for the team, and any prolonged absence could significantly affect Celtic’s title aspirations.
The next 24 hours are critical as the team awaits further medical assessments. McGregor’s potential unavailability for the Hearts game adds a layer of uncertainty to Celtic’s preparations, testing the squad’s depth and adaptability.
We hope for a positive update on McGregor’s condition but we must put our faith in the squad should Callum not make it.
