Celtic expect Landon Emenalo to join training after injury delay

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill announced that Landon Emenalo, an 18-year-old defender on loan from Chelsea, is expected to begin training with the squad next week. Emenalo has not participated in any matchday squads following an injury sustained during pre-season training. His return is seen as crucial as the team struggles with depth at left-back due to Kieran Tierney's ongoing injury issues. While there is optimism surrounding Emenalo's potential contributions, he has not been registered for European competition this season, excluding him from the upcoming match against Benfica. The club aims for a careful reintegration to ensure he is physically prepared for competitive play.
