Update on the injury of the Celtic defender: suspected fracture

The Sun has suggested that Alistair Johnston has suffered a ‘suspected fracture’ throughout Celtic’s 2-1 victory over Hibs.

The suspected fracture is possibly to his cheekbone after the defender used to be on the wrong give up of a late and reckless venture that earned Celtic a penalty- but at a cost.

Johnstone required four minutes of remedy in the penalty container before he was stretchered off, Adam Idah scored from the penalty with Tony Ralston coming off the bench to exchange the Canadian.

Slow movement replays of the incident didn’t seem to be exact with Johnston searching to be knocked out and landing awkwardly on the turf.

Ralston ought to continue at right-back on Sunday in opposition to St Mirren and ought to be in for an prolonged run in the crew if a fractured cheekbone is the diagnosis.

It will likely take the swelling and bruising to calm down earlier than a full verdict and restoration timeline can be given however it would appear not likely that Johnston will play again this month as a minimum.
