Edouard an injury doubt for Christmas period

Celtic are preparing to discover whether or not Odsonne Edouard will be available over the Christmas period.

The Daily Record reports that the club are waiting to learn about the player’s fitness, amid concerns he could miss the games against Dundee, Aberdeen and Rangers.

Edouard was forced out of the game against Motherwell with a knock and that has cast serious doubts over his availability going forward.

Should the striker miss the trio of games over the festive period, Brendan Rodgers would be left with a huge decision to make, with Celtic boss left with no recognised striker at the club.

With Leigh Griffiths on a break from football, Edouard has become the only fit senior striker.

Edouard’s absence would be a huge blow for Celtic, in what could be a defining period of the season.

Celtic returned to the top of the league with a win over Motherwell on Wednesday night and boast a game in hand over Rangers, with Rodgers looking to extend their gap at the top.
