Kris Ajer lifts lid on the Celtic training regime as he reveals silver lining of coronavirus lockdown

Kris Ajer admits the break in football has been a relief for the defender as he gets a well deserved rest during the coronavirus pandemic.

The centre-half has been a mainstay in the Celtic defence alongside Christopher Jullien this season and is enjoying the rarity of being able to spend time with his family in Norway.

Ajer and the rest of the squad have been sent training programs by the club to stay fit during the lockdown.

He told the Daily Record: "I was recently sent a statistic that stated I have played more minutes than any other player in Europe this season.

"So my legs need a break now.

"I've been sent a training program by Celtic and I run two or three sessions a day.

"Otherwise, I read a little. I'm incredibly good at reading 30 or 40 pages of a book before I put it away, but maybe I'll finish them now!

"It's actually been wonderful for me to come home and meet the family because I see them very rarely. So it's nice to come home and take a little breather."
