Celtic’s Low Key Summer Signing Finally in Line for Debut

Landon Emenalo could make his competitive senior debut for Celtic this Sunday after returning to contention for their Scottish Premiership match against Hearts at Celtic Park. The 18-year-old left-back arrived on a season-long loan from Chelsea on September 2 but was immediately sidelined for nearly seven weeks due to an injury sustained around the time of the transfer. Manager Martin O'Neill may now include him in the matchday squad.

Emenalo, the son of former Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo, was recruited to provide cover for Kieran Tierney at left-back and can also feature in midfield. While he previously won the Premier League 2 title and Under-18 national championship with Chelsea's academy, he has yet to make an appearance in senior professional football.
