Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Celtic defender Maik Nawrocki will be unavailable for the clash against Dundee due to a hamstring problem.

The Poland under-21 international picked up the knock against Motherwell in the Parkhead side's recent 3-1 win.

Nawrocki was substituted for Cameron Carter-Vickers in the second half of the match at Fir Park as the former Tottenham centre-back made his return from injury.

And Rodgers provided an update on his squad ahead of the visit of Tony Doherty's side.

"He [Nawrocki] has felt his hamstring in the game so that will set him out, I don't think for too long, but a period of time," Rodgers said.

"[Carter-Vickers] will need managing but he is ready to start if need be. You see the difference when he comes into the game at the weekend.

"He's a top operator but we just have to be mindful of his minutes and his time."
