Maik Nawrocki has made a welcome return to training after a brief spell on the sidelines due to a minor injury.

This development comes as a positive sign for Celtic as they prepare for their league opener against Ross County this Saturday.

Nawrocki’s injury had led him to miss a game against Legia Warsaw, before he made the move to Glasgow, and Celtic’s recent match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

In his absence, Celtic had to rely on Stephen Welsh and Liam Scales as their central defensive pairing.

With Nawrocki’s return, the club’s defensive depth will receive a significant boost, especially as they gear up for the rigorous challenges of the new season.

Nawrocki was pictured participating fully in Monday’s training session as Celtic prepared for the testimonial match for James Forrest.
