# Celtic: Josip Juranovic out for a couple of weeks

**Celtic right-back Josip Juranovic has been ruled out for a couple of weeks with a hamstring injury, [Alison Conroy](https://twitter.com/alisongconroy/status/1443184358714757120?s=21) reports.**

### The Lowdown: Juranovic under Postecoglou

Juranovic was one of [12](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/transfers/verein/371) summer signings by the Hoops, costing [£2.7m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/transfers/verein/371) from Legia Warsaw. Ange Postecoglou believed that the 26-year-old would add [‘important quality’](https://www.celticfc.com/news/2021/august/Celtic-reach-agreement-to-sign-Josip-Juranovic/) to the Celtic squad, and he has used Juranovic at [right-back and left-back](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/josip-juranovic/leistungsdaten/spieler/362977) in recent weeks.

He turned out as a [right midfielder](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/josip-juranovic/leistungsdaten/spieler/362977) for his previous employers at the beginning of the season and suffered a [knock](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/7759895/celtic-postecoglou-juranovic-mccarthy-injury-updates-giakoumakis/) in Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Dundee United.

### The Latest: Sidelined

Postecoglou was talking to the media on Wednesday ahead of Celtic’s Europa League clash with Bayer Leverkusen.

He admitted that Juranovic will be out for “a couple of weeks” with a hamstring injury, with Conroy relaying the news via [Twitter](https://twitter.com/alisongconroy/status/1443184358714757120?s=21).

### The Verdict: Another one…

Celtic’s [injury list](https://celtsarehere.com/celtics-injury-list/) has been mounting up recently, and Juranovic is the latest man to be ruled out.

However, it could have been worse timing for Postecoglou and the Hoops, with international action set to take centre stage following this weekend’s clash with Aberdeen.

Celtic’s next game after the trip to Pittodrie isn’t until [October 16](https://www.celticfc.com/fixtures/), so hopefully a number of absentees will be in line for a return by then.
