Brendan Rodgers has provided an update on the condition of Jota after he was substituted off 35 minutes into Celtic's 5-0 win over Dundee United yesterday.
The Parkhead side clinched the Scottish Premiership title in style as braces from Nicolas Kuhn and Adam Idah, combined with Ryan Strain's own goal, sent them on their way to victory.
Jota forced the opener from Strain after Liam Scales rose above his marker in the box.

Not long after, though, the Portuguese attacker nastily collided with an opponent, holding his knee in visible pain. He was soon withdrawn and later seen on crutches and with a knee brace.
Post-match, Rodgers provided an update on the attacker's fitness: "He just felt his knee with the medical guys," he said.
"We're looking at whether his meniscus is a little bit sore. We'll just have to assess that. Of course, they put it in the brace to protect it, but we'll see in the next couple of days."
Celtic still have five games to go before the season is out. They travel to face Rangers at Ibrox next weekend in the final Glasgow derby of the campaign.
Meanwhile, winger James Forrest became the outright most decorated player in the club's history with Saturday's win.
The league title is the 13th of Forrest's career. He has also won seven Scottish Cups and six Scottish League Cups, so he has a total trophy tally of 26.
The result means he has overtaken Lisbon Lion Bobby Lennox, who won 25 pieces of silverware throughout his career, and is now Celtic's outright most decorated player.
Captain Callum McGregor isn't far behind Forrest, having won 24 major honours throughout his Parkhead career to date. He is now the third-most decorated player in the club's history, having moved one head of the legendary Billy McNeill.
The pair are modern-day legends who have been central to Celtic's success over the past decade and more.
