A large number of Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to voice their frustrations at the news to emerge regarding an injury sustained by Jota.
The Portuguese winger was forced off in the Bhoys’ narrow victory over Hearts last week due to a hamstring injury in the latter stages of the game.
Do you think Jota will sign permanently?
Yes
No
And it has been confirmed by Ange Postecoglou the 22-year-old will now miss their Premier Sports Cup final against Hibernian next weekend as a result of the injury issue.
Celtic fans flocked to Twitter as the news was relayed about their man on a season-long loan from Portuguese outfit Benfica.
What did these Celtic fans have to say?
“Crying now cheers”
And it is no surprise these fans are so frustrated by the absence of the winger given his electric form for the Bhoys, which has seen him net five times this league campaign (via Transfermarkt).
It is not just in the league where Jota has shone, as the youngster was able to provide Postecoglou’s men with a goal in the quarter-finals of the League Cup against Raith Rovers.
Although the Bhoys these fans are clearly going to miss the Portuguese star, they should take some confidence from their victory on the weekend against Dundee United without him, which saw both David Turnbull and Tom Rogic get on the scoresheet.
