Nicolas Kuhn’s absence from the Celtic matchday selection against Rangers has been explained by Brendan Rodgers.
In order to halt Celtic’s two-game losing sequence at Ibrox, Rodgers selected a Celtic starting lineup that was a patchwork of players.
Celtic’s injury woes were exacerbated by the absence of Jota, Alistair Johnston, and Kasper Schmeichel, while Nicolas Kuhn was another prominent figure to be missed from the team sheet.
Prior to the significant match, the Celtic manager clarified why Kuhn was not included in the Glasgow Derby, as Adam Idah was selected.
A knee injury sustained by Celtic hero Nicolas Kuhn has prevented him from participating in the Rangers match.
Celtic’s demolition of Dundee United last weekend had rekindled Kuhn’s goalscoring form.
Nevertheless, the German also developed a knee issue after the Celtic manager disclosed that Kuhn was on the brink of being introduced to the starting lineup.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Rodgers stated, “He had not trained for the entire week and had been conducting some work with the medical team.”
“Yes, his knee is quite sore.” He received the confrontation against Dundee United last week.
Record of Nicolas Kuhn’s Celtics against Rangers
Nicolas Kuhn has encountered Rangers on seven occasions during his tenure as a Celtic player. The German winger was greatly missed at Ibrox, as he was on the brink of achieving a treble. Judging by his previous performance, it is apparent why.
While Kuhn’s record in terms of goals scored and assists is not the most remarkable, Celtic’s winning streak during his tenure in the team is noteworthy.
The positive news is that the 25-year-old appears to be in good health for the Scottish Cup final, as Celtic pursue a treble-winning season.
