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 Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
