Cameron Carter-Vickers has returned to Celtic training ahead of the Champions League showdown against Atalanta.

The defender, 26, had been sidelined through injury and missed the loss to Borussia Dortmund last time out in the competition.

Carter-Vickers is thought to be back amongst his team-mates ahead of the fixture in Bergamo, Italy on Wednesday.

In a recent press conference this month, Rodgers said of Carter-Vickers: "I think what we're conscious of with Cam is that he had a wee bit last season where he was in and out.

"Even though it's a totally different injury this time it's one where we were told at that time it could have been anywhere between two and three months but we're just not wanting to push him back in too early which might then set him back. So he's doing really well.

"He still has discomfort there. It's not as bad as it was for the Bratislava game. We don't think he's too far away from being where he wants to be.

"So we're just trying to manage that and just react to each day he trains to see what the after-effects are."
