Rodgers says ‘quality’ Kouassi can replace the injured Brown
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers believes “quality” Eboue Kouassi can replace Scott Brown while the long-serving midfielder is sidelined with a calf injury, reports The Sun.
Brown could be out of action for a number of weeks and Rodgers says Kouassi now has an opportunity to step up and take his place, adding that the 20-year-old has been working hard in training for his chance.
“Broony’s been a brilliant captain for me. It’s unfortunate he’s picked up this injury. But it’s a great moment for people to step out of the shadows and show they can play. It’s limited the number of opportunities for the likes of Eboue Kouassi.
