The centre-back was handed a new deal that will see him stay with the champions until at least 2027, but it could be another two months until the youngster is back in action.
The Celtic defender was pictured with a set of crutches and in a moonboot after suffering ligament damage in his ankle following an accidental training ground collision say the Daily Record. They report that the Hoops stopper will be out for TWO MONTHS after a scan confirmed the damage. Cameron Carter-Vickers was brought off at half-time of the 3-1 win over Aberdeen last weekend at Pittodrie and already faces a few weeks out while Carl Starfelt has been sold to La Liga side Celtic Vigo.
Welsh will miss a chunk of domestic games and the start of the Champions League group stage campaign as a result of the injury blow. It could mean a run in the side for new recruits Maik Nawrocki and Gustaf Lagerbielke at the heart of the Scottish champions' defence. The news comes as Welsh penned a new deal at Parkhead until 2027.

It’s time for me to kick on now and hopefully I can have a few good seasons.
“I want to keep improving and continue to play as many games as I can, especially with the manager in now. He’s been massive for me since he’s come in. “He’s one of the main reasons that I want to be at the club and I’m just looking forward to starting the season properly and going for it.”
