The defender picked up a hamstring injury on international duty with South Korea which will keep him out for a month. Boss Neil Lennon said: "Cha had a scan, he came back with a hamstring injury and it looks like he is going to be out for the best part of four weeks which is a blow for us and the player who has performed very well. "The international breaks haven't been kind to us, we lost Beram Kayal the last time and Cha this time." Skipper Scott Brown is doubtful with an ongoing ankle problem. New boys Mohamed Bangura, the 22-year-old striker signed from AIK Stockholm, and left-back Badr El-Kaddouri, on loan from Dynamo Kiev, are in the squad.
Lennon is expecting a tough game against Motherwell. He added: "I watched them twice personally this season, they beat Inverness on the opening day of the season comfortably and they were very good going forward at Dunfermline in their last game. "They have a good balance of experience and youth and they will be coming here to have a go." Shaun Hutchinson returns for Motherwell after missing the victory over Dunfermline with a hamstring injury. Jamaica winger Omar Daley has signed a deal with the club but one piece of paperwork is outstanding and he will not play at Celtic Park. Steven Saunders is the only absentee with a ruptured Achilles.
