Kyogo Furuhashi’s condition is updated by Celtics manager Brendan Rodgers following a “nasty” head injury.

After taking a serious head hit during the second half of Sunday’s game against Aberdeen, Kyogo Furuhashi was given an update by Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers regarding his condition.

During the decisive 6-0 victory, Slobodan Rubezic viciously challenged Kyogo. The Japanese star was left prone on the field after the Dons player struck him head-first.

Many thought it should have been a red card, and radio analysts criticized the Serbian defense during the game.

Celtic star Kyogo set to miss Japan matches

When questioned about the incident, Rodgers stated on BBC Radio Scotland, “I haven’t seen it back.” It appeared painful from the sidelines, no doubt. He had to leave because it was obvious that he was not in a good place.

“He won’t leave with Japan just yet. He must remain for seven days in order to recuperate. It had a bad appearance.

Kyogo will be extremely disappointed to be unable to participate in international duty. He has been putting in a lot of effort to get into Hajime Moriyasu’s plans, and the World Cup qualifiers were the ideal opportunity for him to do so.

At the very least, sticking behind at Lennoxtown should allow the attacker to recuperate and rest properly in preparation for Celtic games after the international break.

The Bhoys have matches coming up against Lazio, Motherwell, and St Johnstone. We’ll need Kyogo available and on the team for all of those tests, even though Hyeongyu Oh impressed this afternoon coming off the bench.

Before being substituted today, Kyogo scored his eighth goal of the year, and he continues to lead the team in goals scored across all competitions.
