Ronny Deila, the Celtic manager, has stated that Mikael Lustig's hamstring injury is not as bad as first feared.
The Swedish right-back was stretchered round the Parkhead field during Wednesday's 3-2 defeat of Malmo in the Champions League qualifiers, having left the pitch for treatment.
However, Deila revealed that Lustig, 28, could return in time to face the Swedes in Tuesday's return leg.
"It doesn't seem to be so serious," said Deila. "He has a chance on Tuesday. We will see."
