| Celtic's Brendan Rodgers Provides Injury Updates for Hearts Clash: Maeda and Nawrocki in the Mix |
In preparation for their upcoming Scottish Premiership showdown with Hearts, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has offered insights into the current injury status of two key players, Daizen Maeda and Maik Nawrocki.
Rodgers dispelled any doubts about Daizen Maeda's availability, assuring fans with the statement, "Daizen’s okay. He had a slight knock after the Kilmarnock game, and thanks to the open lines of communication between our medical team and the Japanese national team's medical staff during their friendlies, he didn't have to travel. He's been training for over a week now, so he's in excellent shape." Maeda's contributions under Rodgers' management have been substantial, making his presence a valuable asset for Celtic in their forthcoming match against Hearts.
Additionally, Rodgers provided an update on Maik Nawrocki, saying, "Maik is back in the mix. He's been training for about ten days and is steadily regaining his football fitness. This is great news for our squad." Nawrocki faces stiff competition in the form of Liam Scales and Cameron Carter-Vickers within the champion's lineup, making it unlikely for him to secure a spot this weekend.
When questioned about Nawrocki's inclusion in the Hearts clash, Rodgers remained open, stating, "We're still finalizing the squad, but the most important aspect is that he's back in good health and available." Nawrocki's promising start to the season showcased his potential, and his return to fitness presents a positive outlook for Celtic as they brace themselves for a demanding series of fixtures.
