da bet esporte： As reported by The Scottish Sun, Celtic are set to be boosted by the return of Stuart Armstrong before the club face-off against FC Zenit in the UEFA Europa League.
What’s the story?
da poker： The Hoops are suffering something of a injury crisis right now with established stars from back to front suffering from injury lay-offs that have or will keep them out of multiple matches at a crucial time of the season.
One player on the mend and set to return soon though is midfielder Stuart Armstrong, who has been recovering from a hernia operation.
That’s according to The Scottish Sun, who say he is in line to return for the Hoops’ massive match against Russian Premier League side FC Zenit next Thursday evening.
With experience of scoring at this stage of the UEFA Europa League previously against Inter Milan, Armstrong’s presence is a big boost to Brendan Rodgers’ depleted first team.
Stumbling on
Celtic’s latest defeat to Kilmarnock undone the good work done in the early part of 2018 after faltering form in December, at a time when supporters thought Rodgers’ side were entering a new, extended period of good results.
However poor the performance was away to Killie, you’d have the say the Hoops have been exceptionally unfortunate with injuries with formerly key players like Mikael Lustig, Patrick Roberts, Tom Rogic, Craig Gordon and Leigh Griffiths all out of action.
It worsened during the match at Rugby Park too, with Dedryck Boyata and Kristoffer Ajer both having to go off with problems.
Rodgers badly needs established stars like Armstrong back as soon as possible, or their season risks being de-stabilised further.
The midfielder may not be replicating his form of the 2016/17 season so far this term, but he can still play a big role when the Russians come calling.
