Celtic handed major injury boost as Kyogo trains ahead of Real Madrid group opener

Celtic handed major injury boost ahead of Real Madrid group opener

CELTIC have been handed a major boost ahead of their Champions League group opener against Real Madrid. 

Ange Postecoglou's side welcome the European champions to Parkhead tomorrow night, as the Scottish champions mix it with the continent's best once again.

And they look set to do so with Kyogo in their squad.

The Japan star took part in training today ahead of the Group F clash.

The 27-year-old was forced off after just four-minutes in Saturday's derby clash with Rangers. He sustained a shoulder injury inside the first minute.

There were major worries that Kyogo could be missing for Tuesday night's huge game with Real. 

However, the striker was at Lennoxtown this morning, with footage showing him taking part in training with the rest of his team-mates.

Carl Starfelt is said to have missed out, though. 

Moritz Jenz replaced Starfelt in Saturday's win and could now start tomorrow.

Postecoglou will speak to the press at 3.15pm today.
