Jota has sparked an injury concern for Celtic ahead of their Champions League matchday four battle with RB Leipzig.
The Portuguese winger, as reported by Sky Sports, has missed out on their training session ahead of the match against the Bundesliga club. Jota was substituted at half-time in Saturday's dramatic 2-1 win over St Johnstone but manager Ange Postecoglou insisted post-game that this was always the plan surrounding their permanent summer recruit from Benfica.
It's been a tough time on the injury front latently for Celtic, who have seen captain Callum McGregor side-lined until after the World Cup break finishes in December. Influential defender Cameron Carter-Vickers has also missed a few weeks of action, although he has now returned to the team, while fellow centre-back Carl Starfelt is also out of action for the time being. This may mean that others have to step up on the biggest stage for Celtic.

Jota has not been officially ruled out of the clash with German opposition but it's an ominous sign heading into the match.
Celtic lost 3-1 at RB Leipzig last week but know two Parkhead wins against them and Shakhtar Donetsk, on top of Real Madrid maintaining a 100 per cent record against those foes, will see them out of Group F and into the last 16.
