Celtic midfielder Yosuke Ideguchi is set to miss the start of the Hoops' title defence after picking up an injury.
The Japanese battler arrived at Parkhead in January from his native J-League alongside Reo Hatate and Daizen Maeda. While those two have been able to establish themselves in manager Ange Postecoglou's plans, Ideguchi has not due to a string of fitness concerns. He has been a regular feature in pre-season but so far has made just six competitive appearances at Celtic.
According to the Scottish Sun, the former Gamba Osaka star has picked up another injury in training. It's not known how long he will be out of action for but it's not a problem Postecoglou will welcome ahead of the title day tie versus Aberdeen on Sunday. There is fierce competition already for places in the green and white midfield, with David Turnbull one player vying for a starting XI spot.
