Celtic's Maeda facing six weeks out with knee injury

Celtic forward Daizen Maeda faces six weeks out after suffering a knee injury in the challenge that earned him a red card against Atletico Madrid.

Maeda was sent off for a first-half tackle on Atletico's Mario Hermoso after a VAR review upgraded his yellow card to red.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers said: "Daizen will probably be up to six weeks out with the injury from the challenge. He has strained his medial knee ligament.

"If he was in stronger in the challenge he probably wouldn't have had the injury. The clash of feet has just opened up the knee ligament.

"It's a big shame for us because he has been brilliant for me since I came here."
