CELTIC will kick-off the 2006/2007 season without defender Bobo Balde.
The Guinean centre-half has been diagnosed with a muscle injury in his lower abdomen which, it is anticipated, will require surgery.
“Bobo is experiencing a lower abdominal muscle problem,” commented a club spokesperson.
“This has been a long-term problem for Bobo and the first course of action was a period of rehabilitation.
“However, the injury has not responded to this period of rehab.”
The spokesperson continued: “Bobo will see a specialist today (Thursday, June 29) and it is more than likely that surgery will be required. This surgery will be performed tomorrow.
“Bobo will be out for a number of weeks, but it is too early at this stage to give a specific timescale.”

Wonder what WGS will be thinking now, will his central defence be Caldwell and McManus ? IMO this could be a good partnership given time as both are young men but as for Europe, we'd be vulnerable at the back should Bobo be missing and no otherexperienced head replace him.
ah, dunno Bobo's form doesnt tend to vary much. hes just always been that clumsy way that its kinda heart in mouth stuff
