Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to react after it was announced that Japan had included Kyogo Furuhashi in their squad for the upcoming internationals.
What’s the story?
Well, you can understand why the Celtic fans aren’t happy about this.
Ange Postecoglou has only recently got his £4.6m man back, after Kyogo suffered a knee injury during the last international break.
Despite that, Celtic haven’t kicked up a fuss, and are allowing the 26-year-old to partake in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Kyogo will now face Saudi Arabia on October 7th, before he comes up against Australia on October 12th.
Following those two games, Celtic then have a clash against Motherwell on October 16th.
Should Kyogo be selected for that game, he could face a run of three games in just nine days.
What should Celtic do with Kyogo?
Postecoglou can’t really stop Kyogo from travelling with Japan – doing so could cause friction between the pair.
Seeing as he’s only just recovered from a knee injury, the Bhoys need to ensure they manage their No.8 properly over this hectic period.
To do so, perhaps the Hoops need to leave him out of the game against Motherwell, just to give him a bit of a break.
It would take a big toll on Kyogo to play three times in nine days, especially as jet-lag could also come into the equation.
Kyogo is so important for Celtic, and if he must miss one game in order to play at 100% for the next five after that, then it’s worth doing.
