Celtic-owned goalkeeper Oluwayemi suffers another injury setback at loan club 

Celtic-owned goalkeeper Tobi Oluwayemi has suffered another injury setback at his loan club Admira Wacker. 

Tobi, the younger brother of 2021 Super Eagles invitee Joshua Oluwayemi, joined Celtic's feeder club a month ago in search of regular playing opportunities, with Joe Hart, Scott Brain and Benjamin Siegrist ahead of him in manager Brendan Rodgers' pecking order of goalkeepers at the Hoops. 

Four days after the capture of Tobi Oluwayemi, the England U20 international was named in the matchday squad as Admira Wacker were held to a 1-1 draw by Sturm Graz II but was a non-playing substitute.

Since then, he has not been called up for back-to-back games against FAC, SKN St. Pölten and TSV Hartberg on account of injury. 

The medical update from Admira Wacker is that the Anglo-Nigerian youngster is recovering from a knee injury. 

In the second half of the 2022-2023 season, Oluwayemi's loan spell at  League of Ireland Premier Division side Cork City was cut short after just two matches due to a groin injury that he sustained. 

He was highly rated by former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou, who included him in gameday squads for the Europa League and Europa Conference League. 

Oluwayemi joined Celtic in February 2019 from the Tottenham Hotspur academy and has a year left on his contract with the Scottish Premiership champions.
