The boss has offered the Israeli winger support amid the conflict in the Middle East.
The Celtic boss believes a close bond and unity with his squad helps them perform to their peak. Rodgers has always felt the way to approach it is to be there when they need him – and not just in terms of on-pitch detail. Off-field issues also matter to him and he wanted to be there for Liel Abada.
“He’s a football player but he’s 21 years of age and in a foreign country. It is a tough period for him. His father had been over with him for a month and he was going back the next day, so he’s had his girlfriend here and his father here. But, of course, his mum is still back there. Certain situations can threaten the unity and there is not always complete agreement amongst all who love the club. Rodgers, of course, had first-hand experience of that when he was reappointed at Celtic.
“Take the opportunity to build those relationships is how I would always do it, by trying to do the right things. So for him , we’ll look after him and talk to him and support him from there.” No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Record Sport team.If you're on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click 'Join Community'.
