Celtic may face a significant defensive challenge in their upcoming Scottish Premiership match against Kilmarnock, with key defenders Cameron Carter-Vickers and Auston Trusty both notably absent from training on Friday. The American duo has been integral to Celtic’s defense this season, playing a crucial role in the team’s impressive 3-1 Champions League victory over RB Leipzig. Their unexpected absence from training has raised concerns over their fitness and availability for the upcoming fixture, potentially leaving Celtic with a defensive puzzle to solve ahead of the match.

Celtic could face a tough challenge in their Scottish Premiership clash against Kilmarnock with key defenders Cameron Carter-Vickers and Auston Trusty both missing from Friday’s training session. Trusty, who played a pivotal role in the team’s 3-1 Champions League victory over RB Leipzig, appeared to suffer an ankle knock during the first half but managed to finish the match. Carter-Vickers, returning from a recent toe injury, was substituted 15 minutes before full-time for Liam Scales.
With both players potentially unavailable, manager Brendan Rodgers may need to explore alternative defensive options to ensure Celtic can maintain stability at the back. Their absence would certainly be a blow to Celtic’s defensive strength as they prepare for a crucial league match.
“Brendan Rodgers Faces Defensive Dilemma as Carter-Vickers and Trusty Miss Friday Training Ahead of Kilmarnock Clash”
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers may need to consider alternative options in defense ahead of their Scottish Premiership match against Kilmarnock, with key players Cameron Carter-Vickers and Auston Trusty absent from Friday’s training session. Trusty, who played through an ankle knock in the 3-1 Champions League victory over RB Leipzig, and Carter-Vickers, who is recovering from a toe injury, both raised concerns with their absences.
In their potential absence, Rodgers could turn to Liam Scales, who is familiar with the starting XI, or even give Maik Nawrocki a rare opportunity to step in, given his limited appearances this season. Stephen Welsh, another domestic option, could also be called upon.
However, it’s not unusual for Rodgers to rest key players on the final training day, particularly those managing fitness issues or heavy match loads. The absences of Carter-Vickers and Trusty may simply be precautionary, with more details expected during Rodgers’ pre-match press conference later today.
