Kyogo Furuhashi has denied that he is suffering the after effect of the injury he suffered in the opening minute of the Glasgow derby.
The striker was treated for what appeared to be a shoulder injury, tried to return to action but had to be replaced by Giorgos Giakoumakis after less than five minutes.
At Dundee United the previous week he had scored a hat-trick to add to his opening goals in the matches away to Ross County and Kilmarnock.
Kyogo came off the bench at home to Real Madrid but failed to find the net in the matches against Shakhtar Donetsk and St Mirren after picking up the August SPFL Player of the Month Award.
Picking up on an interview with Japanese newspaper Mainichi, the Daily Record reports the striker saying:
Looking at the results, we scored a lot of goals. I was injured in the league match, and I caused everyone to worry, but now there is no problem at all. I am full of feelings that I want to give back with more goals and victories.
The team will challenge the European Champions League for the first time in five years. Their first league match was on the 6th, welcoming champions Real Madrid to the home ground, Celtic Park.
The (Champions League) anthem was played when we entered, and it was a great cheer. I got goosebumps at the atmosphere that the supporters created with more power and enthusiasm than usual. With that behind you there is a sense of being the best in the world.
Kyogo is now on international duty with Japan at home to the United States then playing away to Ecudaor.
After that Celtic have a packed schedule of 12 matches between October 1 and November 12 before Kyogo heads off on World Cup duty.
