Daizen Maeda seemed to be absent from Celtic’s training on Friday due to an injury he picked up during the pre-season match against Chelsea.

SNS were photographing the training on Friday and Daizen Maeda wasn’t picked up by their cameras. Brendan Rodgers will confirm the winger’s condition in the coming hours when he faces the press.

This ongoing issue caused him to miss the team’s opening game against Kilmarnock and now puts his participation in doubt for the upcoming Premiership clash with Hibernian at Easter Road this Sunday.

Despite speculation surrounding his future, Matt O’Riley was present at training, even amid reports that Brighton has agreed to meet Celtic’s valuation for him. Yuki Kobayashi, who has been linked with a move to St Mirren, also participated in the session, with centre-back partner Maik Nawrocki in training.

Callum McGregor was in training too, after he announced his retirement from international football.
