Bosun Lawal’s Post-Cetic Struggles Set to End

Bosun Lawal has finally returned from injury after a lengthy spell out.

The Irishman joined English Championship outfit Stoke City from Celtic in a £3m move in the summer transfer window.

He is still yet to make his debut for the Potters, but recent photos show that Lawal has returned to the training pitch:

The 21-year-old initially struggled at Stoke with a back issue, which was picked up in his medical.

He hasn’t had the best start to life down south amid injury and managerial change.

Lawal was signed under Steven Schumacher’s stewardship, but he has since left, and Narcis Pelach is now in charge.

The versatile midfielder will soon look to make his debut in red and white under the Spaniard.

It Never Worked Out for Lawal in Glasgow

Despite several first-team opportunities in pre-season, Brendan Rodgers didn’t see enough in Lawal to warrant him staying at the club beyond the summer.

It never seemed to work out for the Ireland international in Glasgow’s east end, despite him joining Celtic as Watford’s Academy Player of the Year.

Fans were eager to see him get an opportunity after a sensational loan at Fleetwood Town last campaign, but ultimately, Rodgers didn’t think he was good enough to be a consistent member of the first team this season. In selling Lawal, too, Celtic got a Healthy financial package and profited from his services.
