Adam Montgomery has suffered a nightmare hamstring injury just days after signing on loan for Motherwell.
The Celtic youth player was loaned out to the Steelmen after being recalled in January after spending the first half of the season with Fleetwood in League One, England.
In the Scottish Cup, Montgomery started and assisted on a goal as Motherwell overcame Alloa. However, according to The Sun, he will miss three months of action due to a hamstring strain sustained during training.
The Celtic defender will now have scans to determine the extent of the injury, but Stuart Kettlewell, the Well manager, may now have to add more defensive players in the last week of the January transfer window.
Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers vowed Celtic would not be selling any key players this month after rejecting Atletico Madrid’s bid for Matt O’Riley.
Rodgers described the LaLiga side’s offer for the Denmark midfielder as way below Celtic’s valuation but claimed the money was irrelevant with the club not needing to sell.
Meanwhile, Celtic’s manager Brendan Rodgers, who rejected Atletico Madrid’s bid for Matt O’Riley, pledged that the team will not offload any key players this month.
Rodgers maintained that the money was irrelevant because the club did not need to sell, even though he claimed that the La Liga team’s offer for the Denmark midfield player was significantly lower than Celtic’s asking price.
