Loovens doubtful for Arsenal test

16 August 2009 08:58
Celtic boss Tony Mowbray could be without defender Glenn Loovens for the Champions League clash with Arsenal after he limped out of the impressive win at Aberdeen. Loovens came off with a knee injury just after the break and midfielder Shaun Maloney limped off near the end to leave Celtic playing out stoppage-time with 10 men. Gary Caldwell, who was suspended for the trip to Pittodrie, will be back for the visit of Arsenal but Mowbray hinted that Dutchman Loovens could be a doubt. The Celtic boss said: "Glenn has been carrying a wee knock since the game in Moscow and if we had everyone available he may not have played. "It is on the outside of his knee and it was a bit sore at half-time but we gave him another 10 minutes and I didn't hesitate to make the change by putting Donati back. "We will see how he is on Monday. Shaun is okay, he had a bit of cramp but he will be okay."
