Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Nir Bitton is likely to return to the first team squad after the end of the October international break.
The 26-year-old, who can operate as a defender or as a central defensive midfielder, has been out injured since February after undergoing a surgery on an ankle injury.
The Celtic boss is hopeful that Bitton will return to first team action in a month’s time, and has said that he is working tirelessly to get back to full fitness.
Rodgers told the Scottish Sun: “It will probably be after the next international break (in October) before he’s back.
