    Leigh is fine.


    Brendan spoke to him after training the other day.

    Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has dismissed claims on social media that striker Leigh Griffiths has gone 'AWOL'.

    "It's all social media. He hasn't been well. He didn't go away with the international team, then he got injured and then he has been ill for a number of days now...

    I spoke to Leigh when we trained at Murrayfield to check in how he was. He's been ill so he's been kept away from the squad. He has been connecting every day with our head physiotherapist Tim (Williamson) and he probably gets about 20 messages a day off him, so there's no...

    chance you're not connecting with Leigh. We just want him fit and back into the squad again. That's just the way it is sometimes with social media. There's always a bit of tittle-tattle which runs and takes its own life these stories. He's very much in contact with the club"

    ...and Rodgers has also dismissed the story about Griffiths too.

    His injury record has been shocking the entire time Rodgers has been here even worse when we've only got one other striker.

    Thought as much.

    Wishful thinking from all other fans because of how good he is and he's signed on for another 4 years at the champions.

    Seen a few comments from huns saying he has mental health problems, gambling problems ect and he gets no sympathy from them... Some also defended him if that was the case but very few.

    Horrible backyaba and by * can they not escalate a rumour quickly :43::56:

    Agree with this.

    Unless Rodgers just won't risk anyone unless 100% fit (or as close too) and previous managers didn't mind playing players that are maybe carrying niggles.

    I don't believe that to be true but surely Griffiths and whoever else is picking up more injuries (that we know of) because of our management team would speak up? I'm sure we'll be working with all kind of fitness/health specialists that wouldn't risk damaging the players?

    That's true actually :84:.

    But regarding Brown, time and time again it was proven in recent seasons that we couldn't cope without him so I could see why he'd maybe turn a blind eye.

    But yeah, that's shut me up :56:

    Griff was playing senior football from the age of about 16. Sometimes that takes it toll on players, I hope that’s not what is happening with him.

    Wish Griff was fitter. 30+ a season guaranteed striker but he's just very rarely at full pelt.

    Really like him as a player but we need a more reliable replacement.

    Need him back, if not only to push Eddy.

    He was literally in at Lennoxtown this morning.

    Or misinterpretation of his comments.

    Did he mean back in the squad?
