The significance of Celtic center-half Cameron Carter-Vickers’ injury comeback has been acknowledged by Brendan Rodgers.
The commanding defender hadn’t featured in a game since a 1-0 victory over Ross County at the end of January, before to this weekend’s matchup with Motherwell. However, he returned to the team on Sunday, playing the final thirty minutes of the match.
Carter-Vickers, who took Maik Nawrocki’s place at the center of the defense, gave the backline the steadiness and composure that it may have lacked in recent games. Brendan Rodgers has the best defense available to him.
The importance of the 26-year-old’s return before the run-in should not be undervalued. When he plays, Celtic’s defense seems more reliable and secure, and the team as a whole becomes a much stronger unit.
Brendan Rodgers is also aware of the security he provides. After yesterday’s thrilling triumph, the coach gave Carter-Vickers high marks.
Regarding the defender’s comeback, he stated (The Celtic Way): “It’s huge for us.” You can see that everything is fine when he enters the game.
Theo Bair, our big man up front, caused us problems in the first half with his power and stature. Cam enters the game and, working with Scalesy, just controls that aspect of the situation, allowing us to play and move forward more quickly.
Therefore, it is very important to us that he (CCV) returns.
