Yang suffer Celtic injury blow as winger goes public on ‘physical condition’ race for South Korea

Celtic winger Yang Hyun-jun has revealed he suffered a hamstring injury while competing for South Korea at the Asian Games. The 24-year-old was sidelined for his country's quarter-final matchup against Vietnam but stated he aims to recover in time for the semifinals and final.

Yang's absence coincides with a difficult stretch for Celtic under manager Martin O'Neill, with the Glasgow club recently losing three matches in a week. Meanwhile, fellow Celtic player Haissem Hassan reportedly overcame an injury concern to start for Egypt against Angola.
