# Celtic: Fans mock Tom Rogic’s injury record upon return to training

**Celtic midfielder Tom Rogic is back in training with the Hoops’ first-team squad after missing all of pre-season and the early weeks of the campaign through injury.**

The [@CelticBible](https://twitter.com/CelticBible) Twitter channel posted an image yesterday of the [26-year-old Australia international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tom-rogic/profil/spieler/213672) at the team’s training session.

According to photos from the SNS group via [Video Celts](https://videocelts.com/2019/08/blogs/latest-news/rogic-injury-update-2/), Rogic went for a scan on a hand injury midway through last season, which would uncover a knee problem that required surgery and curtailed his involvement for the second half of the campaign.

The same source added that a summer without international duty had led to hopes of the midfielder being back for the start of the 2019/20 season, but his recovery has taken a little longer.

The 26-year-old, whose [wedding takes place in Australia next month](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/tom-rogic-latest-neil-lennon-18824324), has had numerous injury problems since [joining Celtic in 2013](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20959278).

He missed almost half of the 2014/15 campaign after going for groin surgery and was ruled out for another four months in the 2016/17 season with an ankle injury, while also incurring a knee injury that sidelined him for two months the following season. \[[via TransferMarkt.co.uk](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tom-rogic/verletzungen/spieler/213672)\]

These Celtic fans on Twitter did not seem overly enthused about his return to training, citing his unfortunate injury record:
