Jinxed Celtic star Yosuke Ideguchi BREAKS his ankle on nightmare full debut for loan club
YOSUKE IDEGUCHI’S injury curse continued after he was ruled out for three months with a broken ankle.
The Celtic midfielder was crocked on his full debut for loan club Avispa Fukuoka last week.
Ideguchi, 26, now faces three months of rehab as his fresh start in the J-League went horribly wrong.
He made two sub appearances for Avispa before starting against Kashiwa Reysol - only to suffer the break.
Ideguchi’s first 12 months at Celtic were also wrecked by injury - starting with a serious ankle problem suffered on his Hoops debut against Alloa last January.
The former Japan star also picked up a freak leg gash during training at the start of this season and that limited his chances under Ange Postecoglou.

Ideguchi was allowed to leave Celtic for Avispa last month but that move back to his homeland has turned sour.
The midfielder is determined to return stronger than ever from the injury though as he gave fans an update following the news.
Posting a picture from the game, he wrote: "I'm full of nostalgic feelings. I'll do my best every day to be able to come back a day as soon as possible and have a little bit of the power of Abispa.
"The struggle continues though. I'm going to take care of each day so I can show myself how strong I've overcome it."

Meanwhile, former Celtic star Leigh Griffiths took to social media to post a cryptic message after he helped Mandurah City lift the State Light Night Series last week.
The striker has hinted that despite moving across the globe and recently selling his luxury pad in Lanarkshire, he is happy and living the life Down Under.
His story, which quoted Hollywood movie star Heath Ledger, read: "Everyone you meet always asks if you have a career, are married or own a house; as if life was some kind of grocery list.
"But nobody ever asks if you are happy."
