New Celtic signing Moritz Jenz is ready to feature for the Bhoys, should manager Ange Postecoglou select him.
Jenz only arrived at the Bhoys earlier this week from Ligue 1 side Lorient.
He didn’t travel with the squad to Poland, instead staying behind with fellow new signing Aaron Mooy to do a bit of training with the reserves, as well as some personal work.
However, both Jenz and Mooy took part in first-team training this morning and Jenz believes he is in a position to play.
In a press conference 67 Hail Hail attended earlier, Jenz said: “Yes, I will be ready for the weekend. I will also be ready for the first league game.
“But at the end of the day it’s the decision of the coach, so we will see. I will train as hard as possible.”
Currently there is an opening in the Celtic defence, with Carl Starfelt still not quite recovering from a hamstring injury that he suffered on Sweden duty last month.
Stephen Welsh has been filling in alongside Cameron Carter-Vickers during pre-season friendlies, but Jenz can still make a late claim to be on the teamsheet when Aberdeen comes around.
Tomorrow’s fixture against Norwich seems to be the perfect opportunity to get some Celtic minutes into his legs against a decent standard of opposition and in front of supporters.
In other news, Moritz Jenz tells Celtic support why he’s a good fit for Ange Postecoglou’s defence.
