Celtic ace Odsonne Edouard is in a race against time to be fit for the Hoops’ cup final clash against Rangers on Sunday.
A number of Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Neil Lennon’s update on Odsonne Edouard, who has been sidelined for the last few games.
The Hoops hotshot was once again absent from Celtic’s matchday squad as they recorded a dramatic late win against Hamilton at Parkhead, whilst rivals Rangers dropped points against Aberdeen.
Edouard has missed three games in a row now with a niggling injury, which Lennon would not elaborate on when asked on Tuesday, but believed that it’s not a long-term issue (BBC Sport).
Following the win, which put the Bhoys two points clear of Steven Gerrard’s side, Lennon said Edouard was “out running” on Wednesday and could be in line to train on Friday ahead of Celtic’s League Cup showdown with Rangers at the weekend.
Although Celtic haven’t exactly done badly in front of goal in Edouard’s absence, going into the Hampden final against Rangers without a striker would be a significant blow.
Here is how some Celtic fans reacted to Lennon’s update:
Edouard found the back of the net the last time the two Glasgow sides met in the Scottish Premiership, and this season he has 13 goals and 12 assists from 25 appearances (Transfermarkt).
