Celtic’s Daizen Maeda to Miss Sunday’s Match at Dundee Due to Injury – Rodgers Hopeful for Return Before End of Season

Celtic’s Daizen Maeda Nearing Return from Injury

Celtic fans can breathe a sigh of relief as manager Brendan Rodgers has provided an update on the injury status of Japan international Daizen Maeda. The winger has been sidelined with a hamstring injury, missing the last two crucial games for the Hoops. However, Rodgers revealed that Maeda’s recovery has been faster than expected, giving hope that he will return to action before the end of the season.

Initially, there were concerns that Maeda could miss the title run-in and the Scottish Cup final, but Rodgers’ positive update has lifted spirits among the Celtic faithful. While Maeda won’t be fit for Sunday’s match against Dundee, live on Sky, there is optimism that he could make a comeback in the remaining games of the season.

Maeda’s absence was felt in Celtic’s recent matches, but his potential return would provide a significant boost to the team. Rodgers praised Maeda’s work ethic and physical condition, highlighting the intensity and inspiration he brings to the squad. With the Hoops currently three points ahead of Rangers in the Scottish Premiership title race, having Maeda back on the pitch could be crucial in securing another league title.

As Celtic gear up for the final stretch of the season, Rodgers emphasized the importance of concentration, mentality, and performance level in the remaining games. With an Old Firm clash against Rangers looming on May 11, the manager is confident that his players will rise to the challenge and maintain their winning form.
