Celtic supporters have been handed a major boost after Jota returned to the training pitch on Friday morning. The Hoops shared footage of the Portuguese winger at training ahead of Sunday’s Premiership trip to Kilmarnock, writing: “A familiar face at training today.” Jota has not played competitively since suffering a serious knee injury during Celtic’s title-clinching victory over Dundee United at Tannadice in April 2025. It should not, however, be taken as a sign that Jota is ready to return to the Celtic team immediately. For now, Jota’s appearance at training is another important marker in his recovery, even if Sunday’s trip to Kilmarnock is expected to come too soon.
