Brendan Rodgers is facing another defensive reshuffle for tonight’s match against Dundee.
After coming in to replace Stephen Welsh against Motherwell on Sunday the former Legia Warsaw man had to come off after an hour to be replaced by Cameron Carter-Vickers.
The former Spurs man has been plagued by injuries all season but looks like starting against Dundee tonight with the countdown underway in the race to the SPFL title.
How is the squad looking injury-wise? There is a suggestion that Maik Nawrocki is injured. Is that true?
Yes. He has picked up a niggle and felt his hamstring in the game so that will set him out, I don’t think for too long, but a period of time.
Is Cameron Carter-Vickers ready to come back in from the start or will he need managing?
Carter-Vickers will need managing but he is ready to start if need be. You see the difference when he comes into the game at the weekend. He’s a top operator but we just have to be mindful of his minutes and his time.
Thankfully, Liam Scales has not suffered an injury and has participated in every game since joining the team against St Johnstone at home at the end of August.
After Celtic backed out of his loan deal to Lecce, Gus Lagerbielke is still out of action; nonetheless, the Swede hasn’t been included in a matchday squad since the winter break.
With Hearts visiting Tynecastle on Sunday, Rodgers will be hoping that Carter-Vickers and Welsh survive tonight’s game unscathed.
