Celtic’s Marco Tilio suffered a hamstring injury while on loan at his former club Melbourne City and is now expected to miss up to six weeks of football.
Tilio will miss at least four weeks of the West Asian Football Federation (WAFF) Under-23 Championship in Olyroos later this month. The Celtic loanee is also a doubt for April’s U-23 Asian Cup, which also serves as an Olympic qualifier.
“Last week he was in pain, then when he came back to training, while we were pushing a little bit, he kept feeling something in his hamstring,” coach Aurelio Vidmar said, as reported by Australian outlet thewest. com. au. .
“So we re-scanned him and he’s got a little hamstring problem. So yes, he’ll be out for a while. Right now we don’t know, it can take up to six weeks.

“It’s already feeling better, I think the symptoms will probably go away very, very quickly, but then it’s a question of how explosive it can become in a short period of time, I’m not an expert, but it’s not that simple. So, I would say the minimum will be 4 weeks, but we just have to wait and see.
It’s a frustrating progression for Tilio, who arrived on loan at Melbourne City and had just discovered his place at his former club after struggling at Celtic. He is visibly disappointed and frustrated. It’s been a tough year but, unfortunately, that’s the kind of thing that can happen in a race.
“He’s still 22, he’s still got a long way to go in his career. It’s been more than 10 years and unfortunately we are going through hectic times. But he’s pretty stubborn, visibly disappointed, but he can still do it. Just rehabilitate it and as temporarily as possible. And the schedule is very short anyway, we have 8 games, that’s not a lot of time.
Tilio’s Celtic colleague Liel Abada finalised his transfer from Celtic to sign for MLS side Charlotte FC, with Celtic securing a £10m transfer fee.
