Nicolas Kuhn returned to training on Monday as Celtic prepared for Tuesday night’s Premiership clash against Dundee at Dens Park.
The German winger missed the last two matches through injury but could be in contention for the Hoops’ third game in just six days as reports revealed Kuhn was seen at the club’s training base with his teammates.
Brendan Rodgers will be relieved to see Kuhn back in the fold, particularly with Celtic’s options on the wing stretched due to injuries to Daizen Maeda and James Forrest.
With Luis Palma’s potential exit in the coming days, with a loan with an option to buy, agreed with Rayo Vallecano, Kuhn’s return adds much-needed quality to the squad as the champions aim to maintain their commanding 18-point lead at the top of the table.
Celtic face a Dundee side brimming with confidence after holding Rangers to a 1-1 draw last Thursday. Tony Docherty’s men have proven difficult to beat at home, with their recent result highlighting their resilience.
Rodgers will be wary of the threat Dundee poses, particularly at Dens Park, where the hosts will look to frustrate Celtic and build on their impressive defensive display against Rangers.
The Hoops will need to balance rotation with consistency as they manage the physical demands of three matches in under a week.
In addition, one notable thing is the Celtic manager has insisted he is happy with some player’s performances.
Adam Idah is one player singled out. His contribution has been brilliant despite a recent goal drought.
With options of up whether to keep Johnny Kenny in Glasgow or send the Sligo native out on loan, Republic of Ireland international Idah has netted eight goals in all competitions this season, but Saturday’s 4-1 win at Ross County marked an 11th match without scoring for the striker.
However, Rodgers insists he is happy with the Corkman’s performances.
Dundee is yet another game for Idah as he hopes to find the back of the net to boost his confidence once again.
