Celtic schemer struggling with knee injury
Celtic's Shunsuke Nakamura has been advised to rest in order to completely recover from his troublesome knee injury.
The Japanese ace picked up the problem in the UEFA Champions League qualifier against Spartak Moscow back in August, and has since worn a knee support in a bid to aid his recuperation.
However, the injury has proved difficult to shake off, and he has missed Celtic's last three matches.
"I have been told by the doctors to rest as much as possible as that will help me to recover completely from this injury," he said on Uefa.com.
Nakamura is now considered doubtful for The Bhoys' final Champions League Group D games against Shakhtar Donetsk and Milan.
Celtic currently sit third in their group, level on points with Shakhtar and three behind leaders Milan.
