Celtic have been performing at a high level throughout the course of the season, losing and drawing only one domestic game each till now. But they have been handed a few worries recently, when it comes to injury problems. It is not a mere co-incidence that their performance levels have dropped in their last few games, as they have had key players out of action.
The Hoops might be in a dominant position in the league but they would still want to finish the campaign strong and get over the line as quickly as possible. On the other hand, they also have the chance at a potential treble and should not miss on that this time around. They will meet the Rangers in the Scottish Cup semi finals.
The Hoops appear to have been handed a fresh injury worry recently though. It looks like another one of their key players was not involved in their latest training session at Lennoxtown.
As reported by Football Scotland, Celtic fans were left a bit worried today when they noted that one key man was missing from training at Lennoxtown. Some fans noticed that Jota was not involved in training.

There was no mention of Jota while talking about potential injury problems earlier. Has the Portuguese winger picked up an issue during the week?
Or is it possible that Postecoglou might not want to risk him on the Rugby Park pitch? Jota has been playing constant football for a while as well.
Of course, nothing official has been stated yet and until then, all we can do is guess. One can only hope that Jota is fit and fine though, and will be involved in the remaining games of the season. Let’s see how things play out.
