Liel Abada has returned to training with Celtic this week. This development comes after manager Brendan Rodgers granted him a hiatus to recalibrate mentally, following his absence from the Scottish Cup victory over St Mirren.

The 22-year-old winger’s journey back to Lennoxtown marks a crucial juncture and ultimately will decide what happens next.

Rodgers’ post-match comments after the St Mirren game shed light on Abada’s mental state, emphasising the importance of Liel getting his head straight. Record Sport revealed, Abada’s reintegration into the team signals a step forward.

However, the looming question is whether he will be selected for the upcoming home clash against Kilmarnock. This decision could very well serve as a barometer for his future at the club.

CeltsAreHere understand there is a lot of pressure fon Liel rom the Israel FA, amid the backdrop of Celtic fans’ vocal support for Palestine, which places Abada in a uniquely challenging position.

Should Abada not make the squad on Saturday, it may send a major message regarding his tenure at Celtic. It’s a delicate balancing act between supporting a player’s welfare and respecting the collective ethos of the support.
