Celtic winger Jota will be sidelined for between six to nine months with a cruciate ligament injury, manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed.
The 26-year-old, who returned to the Scottish champions from Rennes in January, picked up a knee injury during Saturday's 5-0 win over Dundee United.
Jota was taken off in the first-half at Tannadice as Celtic sealed a fourth consecutive Scottish Premiership title, the Portuguese wide man leaving the stadium on crutches.
"Sadly for us and for him, he'll be out for a period of time, probably six to nine months," Rodgers said.
"Obviously it's the cruciate and it was worse than we'd hoped, but he's very philosophical in his life and he knows he's going to get all the support."
He has made 16 appearances, nine of them starts, after returning to Glasgow, scoring five goals.
Celtic visit city rivals Rangers on Sunday as they look to avoid losing a third consecutive Old Firm league meeting.
