Nicolas Kuhn surprised a lot of Celtic fans with his performance against Manchester City in the recent pre-season friendly between the two sides. The German winger had been signed by the Hoops in January from Rapid Vienna and while he showed moments of quality, his performances were inconsistent overall.

Kuhn showed his immense potential in his display against Manchester City though. He scored two goals and provided an assist against Pep Guardiola's side in what was a 4-3 win for Celtic.

Admittedly, it was only a pre-season friendly and Manchester City were missing a lot of players. Even then, the likes of Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish, Rico Lewis, Ederson, Kalvin Phillips and Oscar Bobb did feature on the day.

It was not all sunshine and rainbows for Kuhn though. He had to be taken off because he felt something in his knee. Naturally, Celtic fans were left concerned as they would not want to see the winger being sidelined after such a fantastic performance.

Fortunately, there is some good news regarding the situation. Celtic recently posted a video of a training session in heavy rain on Twitter. Kuhn can be seen taking part with the rest of his teammates.

One would think that Kuhn would have been left out of the training session, especially in those conditions, if there were any serious concerns about his fitness situation. So, it looks like he has managed to shake off any issues he might have felt during the game against Manchester City.

Celtic are believed to be looking to sign a winger this summer. They have been linked with Michel-Ange Baliswisha of Royal Antwerp. But if Kuhn can consistently perform like he did against Manchester City, the Hoops might not need to make an addition on the flanks after all.
