Maeda is in fine fettle and will undoubtedly be a big miss for his side in the opening leg against Bayern.
When quizzed on the 27-year-old being unavailable for midweek, however, Rodgers remained calm.
Indeed, while the Celtic manager conceded not having Maeda is a blow, he dropped a hint over who could come in to replace him: "He's a massive miss," said Rodgers (Premier Sports).
"His pace will always hurt you.
"He's just so explosive.
"But, we have to accept that (suspension), and we'll play probably Jota instead."
Jota came on for the final 25 minutes of his side's 5-0 win over Raith Rovers last night.
It was his third cameo off the bench in a row, but he could now come in to make the first start of his second Celtic spell against Bayern midweek.
