GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) – Celtic center back Cameron Carter-Vickers will be sidelined for at least several months with an Achilles tendon injury, manager Brendan Rodgers announced Friday.<\/p>\n

Rodgers predicted Carter-Vickers would be sidelined for three to five months, which could limit the defender’s chances of being selected for next summer’s World Cup squad.<\/p>\n

Carter-Vickers, 27, felt pain during Celtic’s 2-1 win over Sturm Graz in europe league<\/span> on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Rodgers was substituted twice in the first half due to injury and made a further substitution in the 78th minute, but he exhausted his three substitute opportunities.<\/p>\n

Coach Rodgers said after the game, “We wanted to take Cameron out, but we could only make one substitution in the second half. Ideally, we would have taken him out.”<\/p>\n

Rodgers told Sky Sports on Friday that it was an Achilles tendon injury.<\/p>\n

Fellow U.S. international Auston Trusty could be called up to replace Carter-Vickers, who played for the U.S. at the 2022 World Cup.<\/p>\n
