Diagnosed with fairly severe injury Celik suffered a MCL sprain in the right knee, Gianluca DI Marzio reports.

Impact Celik will miss up to a month because of the injury. However, considering the tight window to return in early November, he faces the risk of getting back on the pitch only in January.

He should get consistent minutes with Rick Karsdorp (knee) on the mend. He has logged seven chances created, ten crosses (four accurate), and seven tackles (four won) in the last five starts.
