CELTIC new boy Marian Shved has been sent home from international duty with Ukraine after injuring his ankle in training.

The £2 million signing from Karpaty Lviv has been used extremely sparingly by Neil Lennon since he returned in the summer from a loan spell at his former club.

He's made just one sub appearance for the Hoops in a Champions League qualifier in Estonia where he netted his first goal for the club against Nomme Kalju.

Despite his lack of appearances for the Hoops, Ukraine boss Andriy Shevchenko called him for their Euro 2020 qualifier in Lithuania and the friendly against Nigeria.

However, the 22-year-old been sent back to Scotland after injuring his ankle.

The Ukrainian FA stated: "Unfortunately, Marian Shved has returned to his club after suffering an ankle injury and will not travel to Lithuania."

Last month, Lennon revealed he expects Shved to make a bigger impact once he adaps to his new surroundings.

He said: "He's a little bit frustrated, he just needs to up his tempo and his work.

"It's still, again, an adaptation period for him. He's young, in a new country and doesn't speak great English. So, we know we've got a good player on our hands and we'll see more of him as the season progresses."
