Callum McGregor injury: Celtic captain out until after World Cup
- Published
McGregor was replaced by Abildgaard after 37 minutes of Wednesday's Champions League defeat in Germany
Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou says Callum McGregor is likely to be out until after the World Cup.
The Scotland midfielder was forced off in Wednesday's Champions League defeat by RB Leipzig.
Postecoglou said "initial reports" from a specialist suggest McGregor will be out for a month.
Celtic play 11 games from Saturday until the league breaks for the World Cup in November.
"We've only got initial reports but it looks like he'll be out until after the break," Postecoglou told BBC Scotland.
"Still waiting for final confirmation but it looks like three or four weeks which means it's likely to be after the break he'll be back.
"It is what it is, that's part of football. You're going to lose players. Obviously he's a massive influence on and off the pitch, but we had to deal with him being out for a few games last year.
"It's up to us to make sure we play our football. It's always been about the collective, not individuals."
