Both Kyogo Furuhashi and Nat Phillips trained today ahead of Celtic’s Champions League match against Feyenoord.
Brendan Rodgers was questioned about their injuries after both were replaced during Saturday’s 3-0 home win against Dundee.
Phillips, who was playing his first game since January, was rumored to have injured his ankle late in the first half but was seen running in today’s training photos.
Kyogo’s shoulder problem appears to be more puzzling, with fans fearing the worst as he departed the field in the first half. After a few minutes of treatment, he returned to the game as if nothing had occurred, scoring a second-half header and setting up the third goal before being replaced.

It appears that both the player and the organization are content to manage the situation without resorting to surgery.
Celtic will need to improve on the four goals they scored in the Champions League last season if they are to advance, and the major hope for that will be Kyogo replicating his domestic form into the European stage.
Cameron Carter-Vickers, Stephen Welsh, and Liel Abada are all out due to injuries.
