Cameron Carter-Vickers has been ruled out for Celtic against Borussia Dortmund.
The centre-back was not involved in the win over St Johnstone at the weekend through injury.
And Brendan Rodgers has now confirmed the defender will be unavailable for the Champions League match away against Borussia Dortmund.
Confirming the injury blow, Rodgers said: "Cam is not available. We'll see what he's like going into next weekend but he's not here for this evening.”
“Clearly he's a top class player for us. He's missed a little bit of Champions League football in his time.

"Five of the 12 games that the club has played, he's unfortunately not been able to play in. But yes, we've got other players.
"It's always an opportunity for someone else to come in and hopefully we can get Cam back sooner rather than later.
“But like I say, we can't overthink it. We will rely on a collective.
"There's not one player that brings our results and how we've been this season. Of course he's a very important player, Cam. But for us to get a result tomorrow evening, it will be by the collective.”
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!
