The Poland international will miss Saturday's SPL clash with Kilmarnock with a thigh strain.[LNB]However, an ongoing knee complaint requires an operation and he could go under the knife early next week which would mean him missing the Europa league trip to Hamburg.[LNB]But he will have to delay the surgery if Celtic cannot register back-up keeper Dom Cervi in time.[LNB]The American, who will be on the bench today, was not included in the Hoops' original 25-man squad submitted to UEFA, but the Parkhead club have asked for special permission to have Cervi involved in Germany on Thursday night.[LNB]Boss Tony Mowbray said: "Artur has a thigh injury which will take a couple of weeks to settle down.[LNB]"He also has a slight problem with his knee and he'll need something done either immediately or in a few days.[LNB]"The over-riding issue is whether we can have another keeper in the squad for Hamburg.[LNB]"We are looking at the rules and we believe we can have a replacement as long as we can prove a keeper is injured.[LNB]"If we can get Artur's knee sorted now, he could hopefully be ready for the Dundee United game on November 22."[LNB][LNB]
