Landon Emenalo Starts Training with Celtic After Injury
Landon Emenalo, the son of former Super Eagles defender Michael Emenalo, has commenced training with Celtic after finishing his injury rehabilitation at Chelsea. The 18-year-old left-back joined Celtic on a season-long loan from Chelsea in September but delayed his arrival in Glasgow due to injury recovery.
Celtic confirmed on Tuesday that Emenalo has linked up with manager Martin O’Neill’s squad, marking a significant step towards his debut. Emenalo expressed his excitement about joining his new teammates, stating it was an honor to be there after the wait.
He also mentioned the comfort of reuniting with fellow Chelsea loanee Shim Mheuka. O’Neill praised Emenalo’s athleticism and composure, indicating he could enhance the squad's quality.
Emenalo, who has a background in Monaco and Chelsea’s academy systems, has played for Chelsea’s Under-21 side and was part of the senior squad for their pre-season tour. However, he was not registered for the upcoming Europa League match against Benfica.
