Carl Starfelt won five major trophies during his time at Celtic. <\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2023, the 30-year-old opted to leave Celtic<\/a> and join Spanish side Celta de Vigo, and he has recently been involved in a pretty unusual situation. <\/p>\n

Usually, players are out of action due to suspension, injuries or the simple fact that the manager in question doesn\u2019t want to play them. <\/p>\n

But Starfelt<\/a> was out of action in Vigo for reasons not many in his profession would have faced during their careers.<\/p>\n

\"CarlPhoto by Octavio Passos\/Getty ImagesThe mysterious reason why ex-Celtic star Carl Starfelt was sidelined for months <\/p>\n

It\u2019s an unusual and unique situation Starfelt found himself in, but after doctors in Vigo couldn\u2019t come to a conclusion as to why he was constantly being sick. <\/p>\n

It was determined that \u2018severe mould\u2019 was discovered in his house, and that environment was making him \u2018seriously ill\u2019, as posted by Albanian outlet The Telegrafi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After moving out, Starfelt\u2019s health soon changed, and the former Hoops star was in action as his Vigo side were beaten 4-2 by Barcelona in La Liga over the weekend. <\/p>\n

Starfelt\u2019s Celtic career in numbers<\/p>\n

It could be argued that Celtic need a player like Starfelt<\/a> now, especially with Cameron Carter-Vickers\u2019 long-term injury<\/a> and a lack of depth.<\/p>\n

If either Auston Trusty or Liam Scales get injured now, then stand-in interim Martin O\u2019Neill would be in a spot of bother.<\/p>\n

Either way, Starfelt was an underrated player at Celtic<\/a>, including winning the Treble under Hoops hero Ange Postecoglou<\/a>.<\/p>\n
