There was a noticeable lack of any detailed update on Cameron Carter-Vickers’ return this afternoon, leaving Celtic fans eager for news on the defender’s recovery.
His absence has been felt in recent matches, particularly with defensive vulnerabilities being exposed.
As one of Celtic’s key players, his return is crucial to stabilising the backline, and fans are hoping for positive news soon, especially with important fixtures on the horizon.
Rodgers said: (BBC Sportsound),”He wasn’t quite right. He’s a warrior, he wants to play every game. But we don’t want to rush it.”
Rodgers then continued post-match when asked if Carter Vickers will play Wednesday against Atalanta.
He said: (Daily Record), “I will see tomorrow.”
The Irishman wasn’t asked in detail about Cameron Carter-Vickers’ absence, marking an unusual lack of questioning from the media at the game.
Brendan Rodgers remained coy on the situation, leaving Celtic fans in suspense.
Rodgers is likely to provide more details on the defender’s return during his pre-match press conference ahead of the Atalanta clash midweek, meaning Hoops supporters will have to wait a couple more days to hear from Rodgers again.
Given the nature of the two goals conceded this afternoon, Celtic certainly missed Cameron Carter-Vickers.
It was an afternoon where defensive errors proved to be the Hoops’ downfall, rather than moments of brilliance from Aberdeen.
Carter-Vickers’ leadership and presence at the back were sorely missed, as the lapses in concentration ultimately cost Celtic a victory.
