Rodgers provides Celtic injury update on Hatate, Carter-Vickers & Maeda

Reo Hatate, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Daizen Maeda will all be absent from Celtic's final Champions League group stage game against Feyenoord tomorrow.

Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that the Hoops trio will not play any part in the match.

Both Carter-Vickers and Maeda took part in first-team training this afternoon, however, Hatate was not directly involved.

This prompted some speculation among supporters that they could return from their respective injuries in time to face the Dutch champions tomorrow evening at Celtic Park.

But Rodgers has revealed the game will come too soon for them, and that they will be rested for the weekend encounter against Hearts.

He said: "They won't be involved but for the weekend they will hopefully be available."

Meanwhile, Celtic starlet Rocco Vata is the subject of transfer interest from European giants Juventus and AS Monaco.

The 18-year-old's deal is up at Parkhead at the end of the season and there is a possibility he could move on in the January window.

This is according to a report from Football Scotland who claim that the two clubs have both scheduled talks with Vata's representatives.

If he leaves at the end of the season the Hoops will pocket just £340,000 in compensation.

Vata has not made an appearance for the Celtic first team so far this season, instead featuring for the B team after previously making his debut under Ange Postecoglou.
