BBC Sport - Football - Celtic to miss Cha Du-Ri for one month (original) (raw)

Cha has not played for Celtic in 2011

Celtic's South Korean defender Cha Du-Ri will be out of action for a month after picking up an ankle injury.

The full-back was hurt in training and manager Neil Lennon feared the player could miss the rest of the season.

A statement on the Celtic website said: "The defender picked up an ankle injury on his return from the Asia Cup.

"But after seeking further opinion in relation to Cha's injury, the club is pleased to report he will be out of action for no more than one month."

Cha has been out of the first team since December, having been on international duty for all of last month.
