Mowbray will take time with Ki
Brown had an operation on an ankle injury in the summer which failed to clear the problem and, after being out for the last five weeks, he will have further surgery in Amsterdam next week.[LNB]Maloney has had a course of injections to cure tendinitis in his Achilles injury which has kept him sidelined for a month and he has been advised to rest.[LNB]To add to Mowbray's woes, Landry N'Guemo is off to represent Cameroon in the African Nations Cup in January while China captain Zheng Zhi will be missing for an Asian Cup qualifier during the same period.[LNB]Help is arriving this week in the shape of Ki, the South Korea midfielder who is set to seal a move to the Hoops - for a reported fee of £2million - from FC Seoul.[LNB]Mowbray said: "He will be in on Tuesday and come to the game on Wednesday (against Hapoel Tel Aviv).[LNB]"We will probably do a medical and fitness testing and take it from there.[LNB]"He is 20-years-old. I watched him play in Denmark last week for South Korea and he's technically a good footballer.[LNB]"We obviously hope that he will make a big impact and he will be given an opportunity.[LNB]"But he is still a very young boy and he is coming halfway round the world to settle in Glasgow and we will see how he adapts to that.[LNB]"We have spoken about Scott and Shaun who will be missing for a fair period.[LNB]"Landry N'Guemo is going to go to the African Nations, we've got Zheng Zhi who has an Asian Cup qualifier in January and he will be away for a period as well.[LNB]"So we are not that overburdened with midfield players and as I've said, if the opportunity comes to bring some talent to the football club then you shouldn't pass it by."[LNB]Mowbray confirmed that Honduras defender Osman Chavez has been training with the Celtic squad this week.[LNB]He said: "He's been with us a few days training and he's done okay.[LNB]"I've had a few conversations but he will be here for another week or so and then we will make a decision."[LNB][LNB] Celtic 1/4, Draw 9/2, St Mirren 12/1
