Ange Postecoglou is hopeful Reo Hatate will be available for Celtic following the international break after the midfielder was taken off injured in their 3-1 win over Hibernian.
The Parkhead side regained their nine-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership after coming from behind to defeat 10-man Hibs thanks to goals from Jota, Oh and Haksabanovic. It was a game full of controversy, with Josh Campbell giving Hibernian a half-time lead from a VAR-assisted penalty after a harsh red card for Elie Youan.
Portuguese winger Jota levelled from a 52nd-minute penalty and there were fierce protests from Campbell after Oh's goal as the Hibs midfielder appealed for a foul. The home fans could only relax in stoppage time when substitute Sead Haksabanovic scored a well-taken goal to secure the three points. The win was soured by the injury of Hatate who was substituted in the 13th minute after picking up a knock with the Japanese star replaced by David Turnbull.
Celtic go into the international break with a nine-point cushion to Rangers at the summit with Ross County next up Postecoglou's side.
Postecoglou was asked about Hatate's injury on Sportsound: "I haven't seen it. I haven't spoken to the medical team yet but having a couple of weeks off will help him in terms of that recovery but disappointing to lose him.
"He has been a big part of what we do."
