ANGE POSTECOGLOU has admitted Celtic are facing a waiting game to discover whether Jota will be fit enough to feature against RB Leipzig.
The Parkhead manager revealed Jota was not feeling right as he missed training today ahead of tomorrow night's match.
Jota was taken off at half-time against St Johnstone at the weekend sparking fears of an injury. But Postecoglou stated the change was down to "fatigue".
The Celtic boss has now confirmed the winger is a doubt for the Champions League clash but was coy on the chances of Jota featuring.
Speaking to the media this afternoon, Postecoglou explained: "With all the players, they're all important in different ways.
"With the short turnaround, it's not unusual for somebody not to be right the day before a game when we've got such a quick turnaround in games.

"But, it's just a matter of whether he's (Jota) right or not.
"If he's right then we'll play him, if he's not then he'll miss out."
