Celtic’s Defensive Duo Missing from Training Ahead of Kilmarnock Clash
Celtic’s American central defensive pair, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Auston Trusty, were noticeably absent from training at Lennoxtown, sparking concerns over their availability for Sunday’s Scottish Premiership match against Kilmarnock.
Injury Concerns
Trusty appeared to suffer an ankle knock during Tuesday’s Champions League victory over RB Leipzig, while Carter-Vickers, who recently returned from a toe injury, was substituted with 15 minutes remaining.
Rodgers to Address Status
Manager Brendan Rodgers is expected to provide an update on the duo’s status ahead of the Kilmarnock match.
Carter-Vickers and Trusty’s Partnership
The American duo has formed a solid defensive partnership, with Carter-Vickers praising Trusty’s impact since joining from Sheffield United.
“Cameron Carter-Vickers said: “Trusty has been really good since he’s come to the club. A defensive partnership needs time to learn each other’s habits… Trusty, since he’s come in, has been really good.”
Celtic’s League Pursuit
Celtic sits atop the Scottish Premiership table, seeking their fourth consecutive title. However, they could drop to second if Aberdeen beats Dundee on Saturday.
