Celtic's Kayal out for the remainder of the season

Celtic will be without midfielder Beram Kayal for the rest of the season after fracturing his wrist.

The 23-year old Israeli sustained the injury in Wednesday night's disappointing 3-2 loss at Inverness and will now be sidelined for the final three matches as well as the Scottish Cup against Motherwell on May 21.

"Beram Kayal will miss the remainder of the season after sustaining a fracture to his right wrist against Inverness Caledonian Thistle on Wednesday evening," read a statement on Celtic's official website.

"The midfielder had to be stretchered off deep into the second half of the 3-2 defeat in the Highlands after colliding with Caley defender Ross Tokely.

"He now requires surgery and faces a possible two to three months of rehabilitation.

"It is a setback for the Hoops as Kayal will not be available for the final three league fixtures or the Scottish Cup final at the end of the month."
