Ex-Celtic star Christopher Jullien already facing ANOTHER injury sweat after just one game for new club Montpellier
FORMER Celtic defender Christopher Jullien is facing a new injury sweat just days after joining Montpellier having previously been out for almost 18 months with a cruciate knee injury.
Jullien returned home to France last week and admitted he was 'not satisfied' at the way his Celtic career came to an end having played just one game since December 2020.
He cost the Hoops £7 million the previous year, but was never part of manager Ange Postecoglou's plans.
The 29-year-old made his debut for Montpellier in their 7-0 away win at Brest at the weekend, but wasn't in the squad for their midweek match against Ajaccio.
And Montpellier manager Olivier Dall'Oglio has revealed Jullien will get a scan to check on a thigh injury.
He said: "Christopher Jullien is being assessed at the moment.

"As there are a lot of games currently, you have to be careful and we will look at his scans before seeing when he can return to the team."
Jullien returned from a serious knee injury picked up when colliding with a post against Dundee United
But his only appearance under Postecoglou was as a late substitute in a Scottish Cup win over Raith Rovers in February.
And he fell out of the picture further following the arrival of Moritz Jenz from Lorient and the permanent signing of Cameron Carter-Vickers.
