BRENDAN RODGERS has provided an update on Odsonne Edouard, and it lines up with what we reported this morning.

While the striker will sit out the Dundee game on Saturday, there is a big chance he will be back in the fold for the two vital away games against Aberdeen and The Rangers.

Edouard went off in Celtic’s 3-0 win over Motherwell on Wednesday night with many fearing we wouldn’t see him in a Celtic jersey in the final three games of 2018.

However, Rodgers has allayed those fears for now by suggesting the Frenchman should make a recovery in time.

🗣️ BR on @Oedouard22's injury: "He won't be available for the game tomorrow, but we're very hopeful he will be ready for next week." #CELDUN

Celtic will play with no recognised striker on Saturday when Dundee come to Parkhead but the bhoys showed midweek there’s a goal or two in them with or without a leading frontman.

It will be up to the midfielders to pick up the slack and get among the goals to ensure Celtic go into the final two games top of the league.
