Celtic have omitted goalkeeper Oliver Sorensen from their starting lineup for their Scottish Premiership match against Aberdeen FC. The team news confirms Sorensen will begin the game among the substitutes.
Aberdeen head into this fixture sitting 10th in the Premiership, having taken just three points from their opening four games. Their record stands at one win and three losses, with a concerning goal difference of minus five after scoring only twice and conceding seven. The Dons are already nine points behind league leaders Celtic, the team they now face.
With Oliver Sorensen not selected to start, Celtic's goalkeeping duties will fall to another player. The Inside Futbol report did not specify who would take his place between the posts, but the confirmed team sheet shows a change in that position. This decision comes as Celtic look to maintain their perfect start at the top of the table.
Jimmy Thelin's squad selection is complicated by several absences. The club's current injury list includes key players Bradley Lyons, Emmanuel Gyamfi, Kristers Tobers, and Kusini Yengi. Their availability for selection is limited, which impacts the manager's options both in defence and attack. Fans can monitor the latest squad updates on the official injuries page.
Facing the league leaders is always a formidable task, and doing so with a depleted squad makes it even harder. Aberdeen's recent form reads LLLW, showing a need for consistency. The team must find a way to tighten up at the back, having conceded nearly two goals per game on average this season. Every point is vital as they look to climb away from the lower reaches of the standings.
Their next scheduled league fixture is a rematch against Celtic, set for December 19th at Pittodrie. Before that, they have a series of important matches to handle, all detailed on the club's fixtures schedule. The team will be hoping to have some of their sidelined players back in action well before that December date to bolster their chances.
