# Celtic: Bosun Lawal spotted doing ‘individual work’

**Celtic defender Bosun Lawal has been spotted doing ‘individual work’ following months out injured and could return soon, according to Hoops journalist [Lewis Laird](https://twitter.com/LewisLaird01/status/1498419003122978823).**

### The Lowdown: Lawal’s summer arrival

Described as [‘powerful’](https://www.balls.ie/football/troy-deeney-bosun-lawal-watford-469704) by Omer Riza, his former under-23 manager at Watford, Lawal left Vicarage Road for Celtic Park last summer.

The Hoops beat Chelsea, Fulham and Norwich City to his services, forking out a cross-border fee in the region of £120,000 and handing the youngster a [three-year](https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/sport/19449447.celtic-confirm-bosun-lawal-signing-watford-beat-chelsea-norwich-youngster/) deal.

Capable of playing as a [defensive midfielder or a centre-back](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bosun-lawal/leistungsdaten/spieler/724540), the 18-year-old is yet to feature in the Bhoys’ first team under Ange Postecoglou and has been out injured since November.

### The Latest: Laird’s post

[Laird](https://twitter.com/LewisLaird01/status/1498419003122978823), who covers all things Celtic-related including the B team, revealed via Twitter that Lawal could return from injury sooner rather than later. The journalist outlined:

> “Celtic B defender Bosun Lawal, working his way back from injury. Has been out since picking up an injury with Ireland u19s in November
>
> “Was doing some individual work at the side of the pitch during yesterday’s 3-1 win over Stirling University.
>
> “Return could be sooner, rather than later.”

### The Verdict: Good news

Although Lawal [hasn’t](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bosun-lawal/leistungsdaten/spieler/724540) played a senior game in Scotland, it’s good to see that the Irish prospect is seemingly close to a return. Hopefully he will remain injury-free in the long run and play regularly for the B team, looking to catch Postecoglou’s eye over time.

The Celtic manager has shown that he is willing to use the club’s young talents, with winger [Ben Doak](https://www.flashscore.co.uk/player/doak-ben/ldgTlLCC/) featuring in matchday squads in recent months and making two senior appearances. Lawal could well follow in Doak’s footsteps, providing he stays fit and puts in a series of consistent displays for the B team.
