Brendan Rodgers has provided an injury update on Celtic forward Kyogo Furuhashi, saying he suffered a "nasty" blow against Aberdeen.
The Japan international was substituted after a collision with Pittodrie defender Slobodan Rubezic just after half time.
He received treatment on the pitch after the foul by the Montengran who was shown a yellow card for his challenge.
And Rodgers revealed that the 28-year-old will not be travelling with his country on international duty.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "It was not great for him. Obviously it was a nasty blow for him so he will not travel to Japan as he will need to recover.
"The medical team will make sure he is okay. I have not seen it back but it looked a real sore one."

Rodgers also praised both Yang Hyun-jun and Luis Palma for their contributions, after both men scored against Barry Robson's men.
"It is our idea to start fast in every game and the players scored a couple of really good goals," he continued.
"Luis Palma played very, very good and he is showing variety as he is developing as did Yang when he got his old hanging around the second post.
"Normally you see wingers looking in but both those guys contributed very well. Luis is a very talented player and can create and score goals."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
