Celtic winger Mikey Johnston will see a specialist as the rising Hoops star looks to get to the bottom of his ongoing injury exasperation.
The Scotland youth international hasn't kicked a ball for the Premiership champions since limping off during the 3-0 win over St Johnstone in January.
Johnston earned rave reviews last season for his dazzling displays but was left disconsolate after hobbling off during a rain-soaked night in Perth.
The winger is currently dealing with fresh injury woe that's poised to leave him on the sidelines ahead of the new Premiership campaign.
And Celtic boss Neil Lennon admits that's a source of frustration for himself and the 21-year-old.
He said: “Mikey’s got an injury and he’s back home. He has been having problems with his calves and he needs to see a specialist.
“He’s not had much luck. It’s been a bit stop start but with his age and going through the maturation process he’s picking up injuries. It’s frustrating for him and frustrating for us.
Lennon's injury update comes only days after former Hoops first team coach Damien Duff's extolled the virtues of a player many believe can become a Parkhead mainstay in the coming years.
Speaking to Open Goal, the Chelsea legend said: "Mikey (Johnston). If he stays fit - my god what a winger you have got there."
And Duff's latest rave review comes after he previously described the wide man as "world class" in 2019.
Celtic will be desperate for one of their key men to make a return.
