It's unclear whether Carter-Vickers has been given extra time off or whether there is concern over an injury issue. Alistair Johnston was back in training.
Brendan Rodgers has previously given players more recovery time or altered sessions to keep the squad in top condition throughout the season.

Speaking last week, Rodgers said: "We've got a few players with niggles so we will have a look at that and assess that by end of play tomorrow. We won't take any risks with one or two.
"It was the second day of recovery as well so there was a group of the players out recovering and a group training hard and then one or two inside just making extra recovery inside rather than out."
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!
