Celtic are set to face RB Leipzig in the Champions League tonight at Parkhead, with the Hoops aiming to improve on their four points in the competition so far. Despite finishing at the bottom of their group in the previous campaign, Brendan Rodgers’ side is eager to surpass that total with a positive result against the German team.
Following their impressive 6-0 victory over Aberdeen in the League Cup semi-finals, there is one player who may not make the starting XI this time – Kyogo Furuhashi. Despite scoring a goal against Aberdeen, his performance might not be suitable for a physical battle against Leipzig.
Rodgers may consider replacing Kyogo with Adam Idah, who showcased his physical prowess against Atalanta in their previous Champions League game. With his strength and aerial ability, Idah could be a better option to handle the tough challenge that Leipzig might pose.
The Irishman’s performance against Atalanta, combined with his success in physical duels in previous matches, makes him a strong contender to replace Kyogo and provide Celtic with a different dimension in attack. As they gear up for their crucial Champions League clash, Rodgers may opt for Idah’s physical presence to secure a positive result at Parkhead.
