Celtic manager Martin O’Neill may have an injury concern after Camilo Durán left the pitch in Colombia’s 1-0 win over Chile.
The striker joined the Scottish champions from Qarabağ for around €5.3m in the summer. He has enjoyed a good run under O’Neill and has starred at Celtic Park so far.
Durán scored 13 goals and contributed six assists in 21 matches for Celtic. His good start to life in Glasgow helped him receive a call-up from the senior team during the last international break.
The forward made his debut for the national team in their 1-0 friendly defeat to Paraguay in October. He then came off the bench in the 2-0 win over Peru later that month.
Celtic star injured
His brother talked about the family’s delight over his big move to Celtic in July.
Colombia manager Néstor Lorenzo has called him up for the two friendlies in November. The first one was against Chile on Friday [local time], and Camilo Durán made his first start for his country.
The Celtic star had to leave the pitch after 60 minutes because of a setback, and Girona’s Yáser Asprilla came on to replace him.
El País in Colombia states the 24-year-old ‘was injured’, without providing further updates about the nature of the setback.
Another outlet, Semana, says ‘alarm bells ringing for Camilo Durán’ because of his injury. The Celtic attacker left the pitch, and the report adds the national team’s medical staff were evaluating him.
Why no big concern for O’Neill and Celtic
Commentator Jose Alberto Ortiz R took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share a short update about Camilo Durán.
Néstor Lorenzo wasn’t totally pleased despite La Tricolor’s victory. Ortiz points this out on X, and in the same thread, he mentions about the Celtic summer signing.
He said: ‘Regarding Camilo Durán, he said it was nothing serious; he came off because he had a cramp, and the rest of the squad are fine.’
The commentator’s post indicates the national team manager saying there’s nothing to worry about Durán. However, he hasn’t backed it up with Lorenzo’s comments.
@Caracol_Cali Sobre Camilo Duran dijo que no es nada grave, salió porque se encalambró y el resto del plantel está bien.
