Celtic defender Cameron Carter-Vickers could be out until March with an Achilles injury, manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed.

The United States international, 27, played the full 90 minutes of Thursday’s 2-1 Europa League win over Sturm Graz in Glasgow.

“He looks like he’s done his Achilles, which could be anywhere between three and five months,” Rodgers told Sky Sports.

“We just await confirmation of that. It’s not great news.

“Cameron’s been a very important part of the squad, of course, and been a great centre-half for the club.”

Carter-Vickers has been a mainstay since joining Celtic in 2021, making 172 club appearances and typically partnering Liam Scales since 2023.
