Josip Juranovic will reportedly miss Croatia's third place World Cup match through injury.

It's claimed the right-back has suffered a calf injury while on international duty for his country.

Juranovic has been ever-present for Croatia at the World Cup but is set to miss Saturday's match against Morocco.

Fabrizio Romano reports that the Celtic right-back will be out for eight to ten days through the knock.

And it's thought Juranovic played through the pain barrier for 70 minutes against Argentina.

The journalist claims: "Josip Juranović will not play the last, 3d place game with Croatia vs Morocco as he was on the pitch for 70’ vs Argentina despite calf injury.

"He will be back in 8/10 days — in the next weeks his future will be discussed as many clubs are keen on signing him."

Celtic will be without Juranovic for Saturday's trip to Aberdeen with the full-back still in Qatar. 

And the injury blow could see him miss matches against Livingston and St Johnstone in the coming weeks.

Should Juranovic recover fully within the ten-day window - and is back in Scotland after his World Cup exploits - then he could return for the December 28 clash with Hibs.
