Iheanacho fit for Celtic’s Europa League match against Utrecht
Kelechi Iheanacho has recovered from injury and is available for selection as Celtic prepare to face Utrecht in the UEFA Europa League. Head coach Martin O’Neill confirmed the Nigerian striker’s return, which boosts Celtic’s attacking options. Iheanacho had been sidelined after a promising start at the club, but is now set to play a key role as the team pushes for the knockout stage. Left-back Marcelo Saracchi is also back in training after his own injury layoff.
