Celtic’s Portuguese winger Jota is back at Lennoxtown and has begun light first-team training after a long injury layoff. The club’s head of coaching, Shaun Maloney, discusses how the player is being reintroduced following a spell sidelined for roughly 16 months, with a staged return to match action.
Across the coverage, both outlets focus on the same development: Jota is pictured training again at Lennoxtown and Maloney explains that his comeback will be managed through a recovery and reintegration plan rather than a direct, immediate return to full competitive play. The emphasis is on monitoring progress and gradually increasing involvement, with the intention of bringing Jota back into the Celtic squad at the right pace. Neither report suggests a specific date for his return in the excerpts provided, instead highlighting the process and Maloney’s role in coordinating it.
