Cameron Carter-Vickers to miss Real Madrid clash

Published 1st Nov 2022

Cameron Carter-Vickers will miss Celtic's Champions League clash with Real Madrid.

Ange Postecoglou's side are in the Spanish capital to take on the European giants but will be without their key centre-back for the match.

The Hoops are unable to progress from their group with one game to go and the tough of taking points at the Santiago Bernabeu has been made harder by the revelation the USA international will be out.

His Australian boss says Carter-Vickers didn't react well to Livingston's artificial pitch at the weekend and has not traveled with the rest of the team.

The Celtic boss said: "Squad-wise from the weekend, Cameron Carter-Vickers pulled a bit sore from the game on Sunday. The artificial pitch wasn't great for him, so we've left him at home.

"Everyone else apart from Callum (McGregor) is fit and available. We're looking forward to it."
