Neil Lennon is set to welcome two key first-team players back from injury when Celtic face Motherwell this evening. The Hoops manager is dealing with an extensive injury list so will be buoyed by the return of both Mohamed Elyounousi and Jozo Simunovic this week. However, Lennon confirmed that Johnny Hayes is a out after the versatile winger limped off during the 4-1 win over Hamilton on Sunday. Meanwhile, Jeremie Frimpong (knock), Hatem Abd Elhamed (groin), Nir Bitton (knock) and Mikey Johnston (knee) all remain sidelined as they continue their recovery from injury. Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Lennon said: ”We're just looking at Johnny Hayes, he's got a bit of a stiff calf so he'll be monitored"Apart from that everyone else is OK. Elyounoussi and Simunovic are back in the squad.”JUST IN: Why Christian Atsu rejected Celtic transfer despite Newcastle accepting late loan bid
