Brendan Rodgers avoided discussing Luis Palma’s future and role at Celtic long-term, but has outlined how the winger will be utilized in his plans leading up to January. Palma has struggled to secure game time this season, with only one start and three appearances off the bench. However, despite opting to focus on fighting for a spot at Celtic rather than participating in international duty, Palma impressed with a hat-trick in a friendly against Sligo Rovers.
Rodgers has hinted at giving Palma more playing time in Scotland, but it seems unlikely that he will be a regular starter anytime soon. The Celtic manager emphasized the importance of having depth in the squad during a busy period and highlighted Palma’s ability to bring energy off the bench.
While acknowledging the challenges facing Palma in a crowded winger position at Celtic, Rodgers expressed his satisfaction with the player’s performance against Sligo Rovers. This upcoming period will be crucial for Palma to prove himself and potentially secure a more prominent role in the team. If he can capitalize on the opportunities he is given and impress Rodgers, there may still be a chance for him to excel at Celtic. However, time is running out for the Honduran winger to make his mark and secure a future at the club.
