Celtic’s Luis Palma has been reduced to a substitute role under Brendan Rodgers this season.
The Honduras international has clocked in 107 minutes from four games, of which 37 are in the league.
On Friday, Honduras manager Reinaldo Rueda left the Celtic player out of the squad for this month’s international break.
El Heraldo claims the 24-year-old’s omission for the two matches against French Guiana and Jamaica was ‘one of the surprises’. They have now revealed the ‘real reason’ why the national team manager didn’t callup the Celtic attacker.
It’s claimed Rueda and his coaching staff agreed to take this decision in order to help the player. The break allows the forward to work at Celtic, on recovering his best form.
An earlier report from the same website stated the attacker has decided to move away from social media for his own mental well-being.
El Heraldo relay that and add that Plama remains hopeful that the next weeks will go in his favour. He aims to utilise the international break to his advantage to recover both his form and fitness.
Palma wants to be ‘more useful’ to Brendan Rodgers, and time will tell whether he’ll be successful.
