Cameron Carter-Vickers has not travelled for Celtic's Champions League tie against Atalanta, according to a report.
It's claimed the centre-back has not headed to Italy with his team-mates for the league phase match despite returning to training at Lennoxtown.
Reports earlier on Tuesday had stated Carter-Vickers was back involved in first-team training after a period on the sidelines.

However, Daily Mail journalist Stephen McGowan has reported Carter-Vickers will not be in Bergamo for the Champions League match on Wednesday night.
In a recent press conference this month, Rodgers said of Carter-Vickers: "I think what we're conscious of with Cam is that he had a wee bit last season where he was in and out.
"Even though it's a totally different injury this time it's one where we were told at that time it could have been anywhere between two and three months but we're just not wanting to push him back in too early which might then set him back. So he's doing really well.
"He still has discomfort there. It's not as bad as it was for the Bratislava game. We don't think he's too far away from being where he wants to be.
"So we're just trying to manage that and just react to each day he trains to see what the after-effects are."
