Celtic to sign Chelsea midfielder Charly Musonda on 18-month loan as Craig Gordon is ruled out for three months with knee injury

Celtic will look to tie up an 18-month loan deal for Chelsea playmaker Charly Musonda on Monday.

While his arrival will be welcomed by manager Brendan Rodgers, there was bad news regarding goalkeeper Craig Gordon, who faces three months on the touchline after damaging medial ligaments in his knee in the weekend win over Hibernian.

Musonda was an unused substitute in Chelsea’s FA Cup victory over Newcastle at Stamford Bridge on Sunday and the 21-year-old is expected in Glasgow on Monday morning to finalise a switch to the Scottish champions until summer 2019.
