Brendan Rodgers has provided an injury update on Maik Nawrocki after the centre-back was forced off through injury against Ayr United.

The defender, 23, had to be replaced after just 19 minutes of Celtic's first pre-season friendly - against Ayr United - after suffering a knock.

Nawrocki had an issue in his calf and was replaced by Lenny Agbaire in the 1-1 draw at Somerset Park.

Quizzed on the injury after the match, Rodgers said: "He felt a little something in his calf so we'll just have to see what that is tomorrow."

The Celtic manager then also faced questions over the absence of Liam Scales and Gustaf Lagerbielke for the friendly contest.

While the answer for Scales was simply having only returned from international duty and therefore was not involved, Rodgers did confirm an injury issue for Lagerbielke.

The Swedish defender was unavailable for the friendly due to a twist on his ankle and knee suffered in training.

On Scales and Lagerbielke, Rodgers explained: Liam is just back. He was on international duty to Liam so he'll come into the fold for the game next week.

"Gus had a twist on his ankle and knee in training so he's probably going to be a week out.

"Matt O’Riley is back in, and a few of the other guys have started to drip feed in, so they’ll come into the game for next Wednesday."
