Maeda's Injury Blow Rocks Celtic's Title Charge
In a devastating blow to Celtic’s Scottish Premiership title ambitions, manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that key winger Daizen Maeda has sustained a hamstring injury and could miss several crucial games in the season’s climactic run-in.
The Japanese forward, who has been a revelation since joining the Hoops in January, opened the scoring in last Sunday’s pulsating 3-3 Old Firm derby draw against bitter rivals Rangers. However, Maeda was forced off during the second half, and Rodgers revealed the extent of the damage in his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday’s home clash with St Mirren.
