Celtic youngsters Okoflex and Dembele brought into first-team training

Armstrong Okoflex and Karamoko Dembele have both been spotted in first-team training following the growing injury list at Celtic.

Amid concerns over the club’s squad size, Brendan Rodgers could look to bring in some youngsters over the coming weeks.

Pictures emerged on social media showing both of the promising youngsters training alongside the first-team squad.

Unfortunately for Dembele, the player cannot feature for the first-team until he turns 16, with his birthday later this month.

Sunday’s win over St Johnstone was compounded by injury concerns, with Odsonne Edouard, James Forrest and Mikael Lustig all coming away from the game with respective knocks.

As many as nine senior players are nursing injuries or making their way back to full fitness in training.

While Leigh Griffiths is also unavailable, with the striker taking a break from the game.

Brendan Rodgers has never been afraid to give youngsters a chance and it is unlikely to be too long before Dembele is handed a run in the first-team squad.
