On-loan Celtic defender Jack Hendry is now able to return to training with Oostende after providing a negative Covid test.
The Belgian club confirmed this news this afternoon which could see him return in time for Saturday’s fixture against Genk.
Big smile @Jack_Hendry2 !

Hendry has missed the last four Oostende fixtures due to him catching the virus and being forced to self-isolate.
This season, the 25-year old has gone from strength to strength in the Belgian league becoming a key player in the middle of a back three for his current side who are currently sitting in 5th place just two points behind Anderlecht.
Many fans had called for the club to recall Hendry in January after his successful loan spell so far to add more options to what has been a struggling Celtic defence this season.
However, it was revealed that the club did not have an option to bring him back in the last window.
With Oostende having an option to buy for the defender in the summer and him having a good spell out in Belgium it will be interesting what happens and where he ends up.
One thing we are glad of is that he has recovered and can now get back to playing football once again.
