CeltsAreHere has learned that Japanese midfielder Reo Hatate has made a positive recovery and played in a 45-minute bounce game as part of his recuperation from a double calf injury received during the Asian Cup with Japan. This is a huge boost for Celtic.
Hatate’s return is welcome since Celtic struggled to hold onto their Premiership advantage while he was away. But the lads are back on top after a recent win over St Johnstone and the postponement of The Rangers’ game against Dundee.
Based on his performance, it seems likely that he will be available for the next game against Livingston following the international break.
With the Premiership title battle coming down to the wire, Hatate’s return could not come at a more critical time. We have missed his energy, inventiveness, and adaptability, and his return might give Celtic the push they need to win the title.
We’re eager to find out how Reo fared during his 45 minutes and whether or not he survived.
