Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has discussed the fitness of Hoops winger Nicolas Kuhn, with the German substituted at halftime against Hibernian this afternoon
With Kuhn coming off for James Forrest, it was a substitution that not many would have anticipated during the game, raising concerns that Kuhn may have picked up a knock ahead of the Champions League clash with Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday.
With Rodgers later revealing whether the Celtic winger had indeed suffered an injury.
He said: (The Celtic Way), “They all came through and we were able to recover some players today and give others game time and it sets us up perfectly for Tuesday.”
Good news for all Celtic supporters, as Nicolas Kuhn is likely to play a significant role against Zagreb.
His performances in the Champions League this season have been outstanding, and against RB Leipzig in particular, he was a class above.
That is exactly what the Hoops need in a tough venue like Zagreb, where the Croatian champions will undoubtedly provide a tough challenge for Celtic.
Kuhn’s ability to go past players is unmatched in this current side.
While James Forrest impressed off the bench this afternoon, starting Kuhn and utilising Forrest against tired legs later in the game seems like the perfect formula for a positive away result in Europe on Tuesday.
