A return to Celtic has a "chance" following Kyogo Furuhashi the injury to Jota.
The 30-year-old has endured a nightmare spell with Stade Rennes after he left the Scottish Premiership champions behind in January.
‌
He has yet to score his first goal for his new club after his £10million move with unimpressed boss Habib Beye giving the Japan international just one start so far.
‌
And things have gone from bad to worse for the attacker in recent weeks - having failed to make the 21-man team sheet for the last three games.
A nagging shoulder injury that plagued him during his time in Glasgow with Celtic - but Beye has declared that injury is not the reason for the striker's absence.
He said: "The squad is virtually complete. Only Ayanda Sishuba and Alidu Seidu are injured."
He will now hope to get the nod for Saturday's clash with Nice - with Beye throwing down the gauntlet to his players to impress him before the end of the Ligue 1 campaign.
With just two games remaining, he said: "We have taken the team on as we went along. The group had to assimilate the level of intensity we imposed on them.
"Ot has nothing to do with their physical capacity, because we know they all have it.
‌
"It's more a question of the connection between each of them in terms of their state of mind and we want to see more of that from the players.
"We'll take stock at the end of the season and assume our responsibilities."
Winger Jota arrived at Celtic from Rennes in January with Kyogo going in the opposite direction.
‌
But after his return to Celtic Park, the Portuguese star faces nine months out through injury - leaving Brendan Rodgers ' men short in the attacking third.
Speaking to Open Goal, host Paul Slane stated he would do everything to get Kyogo back for next season following Jota's injury with rumours in Japan circling over a switch back to the Hoops.
‌
Former Rangers man Andy Halliday responded: 'The mad thing is, there would be a chance as well. He's not playing at all. I think he (Brendan Rodgers) would take him back.
