Shaun Maloney spoke about Celtic's plans to reintroduce injured winger Jota back into the team following his lengthy recovery period. Jota suffered a setback while in crutches after suffering a career-threatening ACL injury during Celtic's victory parade. Assistant Manager Maloney confirmed that the plan is to gradually bring Jota back to full fitness, though he did not provide a specific date for the comeback.
He compared Jota's situation to that of teammate Cameron Carter-Vickers, who missed eight or nine months due to injury but still had the full pre-season to return. Maloney emphasized that Jota is putting in a lot of work and looks strong, giving him every chance to make a successful return. The Celtic boss expressed hope that Jota could be back sooner than expected, possibly by Halloween or November, but acknowledged that there will be hurdles to overcome before he can play for the first team.
