James Forrest is in isolation after being identified as a close contact to someone diagnosed with Covid.
The Celtic winger will not be part of Ange Postecoglou's training camp in Wales as he sits out at the very least the first 10 days.
It means the 29-year-old will miss key friendlies which would undoubtedly have been used to get minutes into his legs after missing a chunk of last season through injury.

A short statement released by the club also confirmed Christopher Jullien is not in Wales yet as he continues nursing a knee injury.
It reads: "@Chri6ViF remains in Glasgow to continue work at home and James Forrest is not currently present on the camp as unfortunately he has been identified as a close contact of a positive Covid-19 case."
