Europa League: Celtic boss provides injury update on Iheanacho

Celtic head coach, Brendan Rodgers, has provided an injury update on Kelechi Iheanacho.

Iheanacho picked up an injury in the Hoops UEFA Europa League 2-1 victory over Austrian club, Sturm Gruz on Thursday night.

The Nigeria international was replaced early in the game due to the setback.

Rodgers confirmed that the forward sustained a hamstring injury, and could be sidelined for lengthy period.

“The first two [Iheanacho and Johnston]? It doesn’t look great. It looks like hamstrings. But okay, that’s what happens,” Rodgers told TNT Sports.

Iheanacho moved to Celtic Park on a free transfer this summer.

He has established himself as the club’s first choice striker.
