News Update:Brendan Rodgers Confirms winger’s exit

Following a tendon injury to his hamstring, Celtics manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that winger Daizen

Maeda’s season is virtually gone.

A few days ago, it was announced that the erratic Japanese frontman would miss this weekend’s 3-0 victory over St. Mirren.

However, manager Brendan Rodgers gave a dismal report following the game.

“Unfortunately, I’m not sure we’ll see Daizen again this season; I don’t expect him to feature too much,”

he added, via Football Scotland. For him, it’s such a short window right now.

Maeda’s 21-second goal at Ibrox on Sunday demonstrated just how important he is to the way Celtic play.

This would normally pose a serious threat, but the pressure he applied on James Tavernier throughout the game

managed to neutralize it.

His absence might be crucial in the derby following the break,

and Maeda’s absence from the squad was already apparent.

With less than 20 minutes remaining in yesterday’s game,

Yang was substituted out because he wasn’t playing his best.

Maeda will be sorely missed from now until the conclusion of the season,

even though Luis Palma is getting back to full shape. The South Korean is still a work in progress.
