A City defender is yet to make an impact for Celtic this season but he has time to make an impact | OneFootball

For players like Sverre Nypan and Max Alleyne, going out on loan has allowed them the opportunity to impress and develop as players. Nypan and Alleyne have impressed at Middlesbrough and Watford, respectively. Both players have been important players for their sides in the Championship. But in the case of Claudio Echeverri and Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, both players have struggled to make an impact so far this season at Bayer Leverkusen and Celtic. In the case of Jahmai Simpson-Pusy, fitness issues have hampered his time at Celtic. But the young centre-back does have time to make an impact at the Scottish Champions this season.

Fitness issues have kept Jahmai Simpson-Pusey out of the Celtic lineup this season.

Mark Hendry has provided an update for Celts Are Here on why Jahmai Simpson-Pusey has yet to make an impact at Celtic this season. Hendry reports that Simpson-Pusey’s lack of fitness has kept him out of Brendan Rodgers’ lineup. Furthermore, Hendry reports that he arrived at Celtic injured from Manchester City. It is reported that Simpson-Pusey was bothered by a knock when he arrived at the Scottish Champions. The young centre-back has recovered from that knock and is now lacking match fitness.

Mark Hendry also reports that Manchester City are unlikely to recall Jahmai Simpson-Pusey from his loan spell at Celtic in January. The situation surrounding Simpson-Pusey will be reassessed after Christmas, as per Hendry’s report.

Jahmai Simpson-Pusey has time to make an impact in Scotland.

There is no doubt that the beginning of the 25/26 season has been a frustrating experience for Jahmai Simpson-Pusey. The hope was that the young defender would further his career during his loan spell at Celtic. But Simpson-Pusey has barely featured for Brendan Rodgers’ side this season.

There is time for Jahmai Simpson-Pusey to make an impact in Scotland. The 25/26 season is still in its early stages. If the young defender’s fitness issues are behind him, he should be able to force himself into first-team contention at Celtic Park. If he can do that, it shouldn’t be long before Simpson-Pusey gets on the pitch regularly for Celtic. That is the hope of Manchester City, as this season is crucial in Simpson-Pusey’s development. He is yet to make an impact at Celtic Park, but all is not lost, given how early we are in the 25/26 season.
