Celtic's winger Jota is set to miss six to nine months of play due to a cruciate ligament injury sustained during a match against Dundee United. Manager Brendan Rodgers described the injury as more serious than initially anticipated. Jota, who recently returned to Celtic from Rennes, has made 16 appearances, scoring five goals. His absence will be felt as Celtic prepares for upcoming key matches, including a vital Old Firm derby against rivals Rangers. The club aims to provide him with support throughout his recovery process.
"Sadly for us and for him, he'll be out for a period of time, probably six to nine months. Obviously it's the cruciate and it was worse than we'd hoped, but he's very philosophical in his life and he knows he's going to get all the support."
"Jota has made 16 appearances, nine of them starts, after returning to Glasgow, scoring five goals."
