(Reuters) - Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is sweating over record signing Odsonne Edouard's fitness after the striker came off injured in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership.

With Leigh Griffiths taking an indefinite break from football to deal with personal issues, a lengthy layoff for the Frenchman would leave Celtic with 19-year-old Mikey Johnston as their only centre forward heading into a three-game stretch that includes trips to Aberdeen and Old Firm rivals Rangers.
