Oliver Sørensen has been pictured back in Celtic training ahead of Thursday’s Europa League meeting with Beşiktaş.

The midfielder missed Sunday’s trip to Falkirk following a family bereavement, with Martin O’Neill explaining his absence after the match.

His presence in Wednesday’s session offers an encouraging availability update as Celtic prepare to return to European action.

SNS camera’s captured Sørensen’s involvement, while Celtic published their latest gallery from Lennoxtown on Wednesday afternoon.

The manager confirmed Sørensen’s bereavement at the weekend, without discussing further personal details or setting a date for his return.

Celtic’s midfield selection will again attract attention after the disappointing performance at Falkirk.

Sørensen has already started in this season’s Europa League, coming into the side for October’s trip to Benfica. He came off the bench in both of the Hoops’ other matches in the competition against Ferencvaros and Celta Vigo. His only other start comes in the league against St Johnstone.

Whether O’Neill brings him straight back into the matchday squad remains to be seen. Having another midfielder involved in preparations at least gives the manager more choice as he looks for a response.

Celtic host Beşiktaş at 8pm on Thursday, still searching for their first points of the league phase.
