This article discusses Celtic’s current form, injury updates, and potential squad adjustments. Here’s a summary of the key points:
– **Celtic’s Form:** The team has been in stellar form, recently defeating Kilmarnock in the Premiership and RB Leipzig in the Champions League, moving to the top of the Scottish Premiership on goal difference.
– **Adam Idah’s Injury:** The Irish striker has withdrawn from international duty due to an unspecified injury. He sustained a blow to the head during the match against Kilmarnock and had prior ankle issues. While his fitness remains uncertain, this creates a concern for Brendan Rodgers, as Idah has been a key backup to Kyogo Furuhashi.
– **Kyogo’s Challenges:** Despite being the first-choice striker, Kyogo has struggled with finishing, missing 14 big chances across 15 matches in the Premiership and Champions League this season.
– **Opportunity for Daniel Cummings:** The 18-year-old academy star has been in exceptional form, scoring 18 goals in 16 matches this season across the Lowland League and UEFA Youth League. If Idah is unavailable, Rodgers might consider giving Cummings a chance in the senior team.
Rodgers’ decision could hinge on the severity of Idah’s injury and the need for an alternative to Kyogo’s current inconsistency.
