Dembele was left out of Celtic's squad to face Suduva in Thursday's Europa League qualifier but Rodgers claimed he was not expecting his player to leave the club. The France U21 showed up to training on Friday but left the session after only 15 minutes after a discussion with his manager.
Celtic face Rangers at Celtic Park from 1pm on Sunday, September 2 in the first derby clash of the Scottish Premiership season.Explore more on these topics:
