Ange Postecoglou previously spoke about hoping to avoid a backdraft of injuries from Celtic stars being on international duty.
Yet the Aussie boss' fears have come true over a certain number of Parkhead important players. The Hoops will continue their defence of the Scottish Premiership crown with a trip to Dingwall to face Ross County next Sunday but could be without some key stars for the trip up north.
Japanese star Daizen Maeda was the only one selected for international duty as pals Kyogo and Reo Hatate were snubbed but the winger was suffering from an injury before his arrival in his homeland. Reports confirmed on Sunday that Maeda will return to Lennoxtown early for treatment after not featuring for his nation.
