Key Kairat Almaty player Dastan Satpaev has been ruled out of the crucial Champions League play-off round second leg against Celtic.
The 17-year-old winger - who has already committed to a transfer move to Chelsea when he turns 18 - will be suspended for the second leg.
Satpaev has been ruled out for the return fixture in Kazakhstan after a silly yellow card at Celtic Park.
Three yellow cards in the last two qualifying rounds mean Satpaev will have to sit out the crucial showdown next week.
On commentary for TNT Sports, Rory Hamilton said: "Well, Satpaev knows just how foolish that was. He will miss the second leg.
"At 17 years old, you do get that immaturity.

"He will be so frustrated; that is a harsh lesson for him to learn.
"It's a boost for Celtic, in that first half he was the danger man, no doubt about it."
The winger was clearly hugely frustrated at his actions as he realised the severity of picking up a yellow card in the 11th minute of stoppage time.
Satpaev had dangled a leg out and blocked Arne Engels as he aimed a free-kick towards the box as Celtic searched for a late, late winner.
Looking ahead to the second leg, Brendan Rodgers insisted Celtic must go to Kazakhstan, regardless of whether he believes he has enough quality in his side to compete in the Champions League.
"Yeah, well listen, whether I think it or not, we have to do it," he said. "But I do believe that we'll be better than what we were in the first half.
"The second half you see we dominated and arrived into a lot of good areas, but just that final ball, a little bit of finesse and that little extra bit of quality that's needed, as you come through the levels, that allows you to break teams down.
"That's something we'll look at and analyze and hopefully correct when we get out there."
