What happened. Jota returned to Celtic training after 16 months out with a cruciate ligament injury, with assistant boss Shaun Maloney outlining a plan for his return.

Maloney says Jota looks strong and is putting in the hours.
Jota may need eight more weeks of training before first-team return.
Maloney compares recovery to Cameron Carter-Vickers' similar comeback.

“Yeah, definitely. It might take a bit of time and hard work. He’s definitely putting in the hours.”
— Shaun Maloney

Celtic plan a gradual return, similar to Carter-Vickers' pre-season, to give Jota the best chance.
