Daizen Maeda available to face Bayern Munich on Wednesday
Last updated 10th Feb 2025
Daizen Maeda will be available to face Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.
Celtic appealed the two match suspension the Japanese forward was handed following a red card against Young Boys in the Champions League last month.
Uefa have now reduced the suspension to one match, a punishment that has already been served with Maeda sitting out of their 4-2 defeat to Aston Villa.
It will come as a huge boost to Brendan Rodgers with the attacker hitting top form in recent weeks.
The 27-year old scored a hat-trick in the Parkhead side's 5-0 Scottish Cup win over Raith Rovers.
He also bagged twice in a 6-0 win against Dundee last Wednesday and scored a header in their last Premiership outing against Motherwell.
The club posted on X: "Celtic FC tonight confirmed that it has successfully appealed Daizen Maeda's two match suspension.
"The original suspension has been reduced to one match, meaning Daizen is available to play on Wednesday at Celtic Park."
