Club Brugge's injury list for their Champions League visit to Celtic this week has increased to four of their key players in a massive blow for the Belgians.

The Hoops face Brugge on Wednesday in a strong position to at least reach the play-offs and even take one of the top eight places which would see them qualify for the next round.

And they will face a Brugge team who are depleted in numbers.

They announced earlier this week that they be without highly-rated Dutch Under 21s left back Bjorn Meijer and Swedish international striker Gustaf Nilsson after injuries picked up on international week.

Meijer collected a thigh injury and the swelling is so severe, he has not yet been able to go for scan and is expected to be missing until the new year. And seven-times capped star Nilsen is set to miss out with an achilles heel problem and won't be back until next month.

Now Norwegian international midfielder Hugo Vetlesen will also miss the game in Glasgow along with Belgian international right back Hugo Siquet, with both suffering from unspecified injuries, according to reports in Belgium.

Celtic currently sit in 15th place in the table, a point ahead of Brugge in 22nd.
