Ange Postecoglou has offered a detailed Celtic injury update following defeat in the Scottish champions opening Sydney Super Cup clash.
Postecoglou rang the changes for the friendly with Sydney FC as they kickstarted their winter break in Australia while the World Cup takes centre stage in Qatar. It was a bruising encounter for the Scottish Premiership leaders as they suffered a surprise defeat to the A-League side at the Allianz Stadium, while Stephen Welsh had to be replaced in the second half after a nasty head collision.
The injury means Celtic could be forced into more changes for the clash with Everton on Sunday. Postecoglou was quizzed over the severity of the knock to Welsh after the full-time whistle, but admitted he couldn't guarantee he would be available to face Everton on Sunday. He said: 'I don't know mate. He is getting stitched up just now. You could see it (was painful) in the moment, but it was more about getting the stitches in."
