Celtic fans demand action after 'disastrous' Kyogo injury development

Celtic fans are urging the club to sign a new striker after Kyogo Furuhashi appeared to pick up a knock in the season opener v Kilmarnock.

Brendan Rodgers’ side emerged as 4-0 winners at Parkhead, cruising to victory while Rangers dropped points on the season’s opening weekend.

However, despite the landslide victory, concerns have emerged surrounding Kyogo’s fitness after he appeared to take a knock after a collision with Robby McCrorie.

Fans took to social media to express their concern after the striker appeared to be limping after the incident but went on to play the full 90 minutes.

This has led to calls for a new striker to come in before the transfer window closes on 30 August to provide backup for the Japan international.

Celtic fans demand new signings after Kyogo injury development

While the blow didn’t look to be anything serious and more a culmination of some heavy challenges in the game, concerns over his fitness have continued to grow.

Football Insider revealed on 31 July that the club were preparing a new offer for Adam Idah who would provide an answer to their striker troubles.

In the meantime, however, fans have taken to social media to express their frustration and concern about the situation – with one labelling it “a potential disaster”.

On to the negatives now, why on earth have we left ourselves with the season starting and a Kyogo injury away from having no recognised striker? It is ridiculous squad management. Heart in mouth at the end with Kyogo looking sore.— Henke_hoops (@henke_hoops) August 4, 2024

At the end of the game Kyogo went straight down the tunnel hopefully he’s not picked up an injury after the challenge with the Killie goalkeeper as he seemed to be limping after it.— Kevin Brown (@Kevinbrown_67) August 4, 2024

My only concern today shows we need more quality ip front when Kyogo went down injured that worried me. The board need to act as we can all see. And anyone says we have MJ can do one— Brennan Bhoy (@BrennanMatin) August 4, 2024

Looks like we will definitely need another 2 strikers. Kyogo is guaranteed to get injured very early this season. #Targeted— John (@Goose1167) August 4, 2024

Im absolutely terrified kyogo gets injured what a dereliction of duty from our board! if you didn’t know you would actually think the board are actively trying to hinder Rodgers at every turn been saying since he came he wanted 4 quality signings and still waiting @CelticFC— David Caw (@davidcaw1987) August 4, 2024

Excellent performance today but still one or two injuries away from potential disaster. I was wanting Kyogo off at 3-0 ????‍♂️. Reo looked good today. Let’s hope more quality additions are made before the end of the month.— Jamiebhoy (@jamiebh0y1807) August 4, 2024

Would you prefer to run with what we have?

Taylor or Kyogo get injured and we have no one to step in.— Paul John Dykes (@PaulJohnDykes) August 5, 2024

May be progression in the way we play but you can't seriously say we have improved as a squad. An injury to Kyogo, CCV, Hatate, O'Riley or anyone who started today and we are in trouble. Today the play was excellent, fast paced football. We are light on quality replacements— Dave fae The Renton (@DaveTheWiserTim) August 4, 2024

Mate that would be the icing on the cake and when Kyogo went down injures that just shows we are one injury away from trouble so we need new faces in— Brennan Bhoy (@BrennanMatin) August 4, 2024

Kyogo and Palma lucky not injured— Celtic SC ©®™ (@Celtic67Fins72) August 4, 2024
