Brendan Rodgers is facing a last minute decision on Phillips after he 'rolled his ankle.'
Celtic are sweating the fitness of Nat Phillips ahead of their Champions League showdown with Feyenoord.
The on-loan Liverpool defender was substituted at half-time in their win over Dundee but Brendan Rodgers was quick to reassure worried fans it was nothing more than a precaution. That appeared to suggest he was in line for his second successive start in Rotterdam as Celtic kick off their Champions League Group E campaign.
But it now appears it is a slightly more serious with Rodgers admitting a decision on his fitness will go down to the wire as he's picked up an ankle problem. He said: “Nat has rolled his ankle so we will just have to see on that." As for the rest of his team though, all looks rosy as Rodgers added: "Other than that pretty much the guys are fine, they are working their way up to fitness. Apart from that they are OK.
