The striker is set to be out of action in January alongside his deputy due to international duty.
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers will target a new striker in January to cover for Kyogo and Oh at the Asian Cup.
Rodgers said: “We’ve given the Asian Cup a lot of thought. The likelihood is - if they’re fit - a lot of them will be there . That’s part of our planning. “Is it a big loss for us ? Yeah, but it’s always an opportunity for someone else. Everyone is replaceable. You want to have all your squad here but we’ve known all along they won’t be so we’re prepared.
The Asian Cup - which was postponed from last summer due to Covid - will take place in Qatar between January 12 and February 10. That means, after the SPFL’s winter break - which ends on January 19 - Celtic’s players could miss up to five matches depending on how deep their countries go in the tournament.
