Friday Morning Daizen Maeda Update

As the anticipation builds around Daizen Maeda’s return to the pitch, Sky Sports noted his absence from the training ground on Friday morning. However, this development aligns with the timeline previously outlined by Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers, who indicated that Maeda wouldn’t be returning to the team until next week at the earliest.

Maeda, who has been sidelined due to a significant injury sustained after the 3-3 draw at Ibrox, has been the subject of much discussion after Rodgers hinted at a much quicker recovery than initially expected. His potential early return has sparked hope among the Celtic faithful, especially given the critical upcoming fixtures in Celtic’s calendar.

Despite his absence from training today, there is no cause for concern. The management and medical teams are likely taking a cautious approach to Maeda’s reintroduction to full training sessions. This strategy ensures that he returns to match fitness without risking further complications.

As we edge closer to his expected return, all eyes will remain on Maeda’s progress in the coming days. Celtic’s medical team will undoubtedly be working diligently to prepare him for a safe and impactful comeback.

We’ll hear from Brendan Rodgers later on Friday afternoon.
