Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is keeping his cards close to his chest ahead of the Champions League clash with Bayern Munich. When asked about his lineup for the game, Rodgers was tight-lipped, joking that he wouldn’t reveal the entire team to the media.
However, he did provide some updates on the availability of certain players. Daizen Maeda, who was initially thought to be suspended, is now back in contention, while Cameron Carter-Vickers has recovered from injury and is fit to play.
Rodgers also spoke about Jota’s match fitness, saying that the player has “star quality” but needs to get to a physical level. He hinted that Jota may not start the game, but is definitely in the squad.
The Celtic manager’s comments suggest that he is taking a cautious approach to team selection, and is keeping his options open ahead of the big game. With Bayern Munich posing a significant challenge, Rodgers will need to get his team selection spot on if Celtic are to have any chance of progressing in the Champions League.
