Hugo Sotelo - Not training, remains out Sotelo (ankle) is still not training and remains out for the time being, coach Claudio Giraldez said in the press conference, according to Mundo Celeste.

Impact Sotelo picked up an ankle injury last week and remains sidelined for now, as he still hasn't rejoined team training. The midfielder's next chance to return will be in Thursday's second leg against PAOK in the Europa League, but he'll need to make real progress over the next few days to get there. Until he's back to full strength, Matias Vecino is in line to take on an expanded role in the middle of the park for the Celeste.

Hugo Sotelo - Suffering from ankle sprain Sotelo is not an option for Thursday's match against PAOK due to an ankle sprain, according to his club.

Impact Sotelo is no longer an option for the midweek UEL game, with the midfielder out due to an ankle sprain. Luckily for the club, this shouldn't change much, not appearing in four straight games. A return shouldn't take long, potentially returning to face Mallorca on Sunday.

Ionut Radu - Concedes twice Radu recorded one save and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Espanyol.

Impact Radu didn't have a lot of work in this game, but when he was tested, he couldn't do much. He'll aim to bounce back against Mallorca on Sunday, which should be a favorable matchup at home.

Borja Iglesias - Scores, takes three shots Iglesias scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Espanyol.

Impact Iglesias had scored a late equalizer that was ruled out, but he avenged that in stoppage time and made it a 2-2 draw with a tap-in after a backheel from Pablo Duran. Iglesias has been extremely productive this season -- he has scored 10 goals while adding two assists in 22 appearances (15 starts) in league play in 2025/26.

Pablo Duran - Credited with assist Duran assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Espanyol.

Impact Duran was credited with an assist when he was trying to score, as his backheel was destined for goal but Borja Iglesias tapped it home just to be sure the ball was going in. This was Duran's second assist of the season, and he also has two goals across 19 appearances (10 starts) in LaLiga.

Ferran Jutgla - Finds back of net in draw Jutgla scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Espanyol.

Impact Jutgla broke the deadlock for Celta Vigo early in the first half with a tap-in from close range following a low cross from Javi Rueda from the right wing. Jutgla has struggled to adjust to life in the Spanish Primera after thriving for Club Brugge in recent seasons, though. This was his third goal of the season, but the first since netting a brace against Osasuna on Oct. 26.

FEBRUARY 8 • Associated Press

Borja Iglesias - Scores penalty Friday Iglesias scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 2-1 defeat against Osasuna.

Impact Iglesias converted a penalty in the 53rd minute, a goal which tied the match at 1-1. It marked his ninth goal of the season, four of which have come since the start of the new year. He also took four shots for just the second time this season. He was subbed off in the 75th minute for Ferran Jutgla.

Ionut Radu - Concedes twice in Friday's loss Radu made no saves and allowed two goals in Friday's 2-1 loss against Osasuna.

Impact Radu conceded two goals in Friday's loss, including the match-winning goal in the 79th minute scored by Raul Garcia. He did not make a save in the match, the first time he's failed to do so since Aug. 27. He'll look to bounce back at Espanyol, a side which has scored 26 goals through 22 matches this season.

Borja Iglesias - Shot on goal against Getafe Iglesias registered one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Getafe. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 61st minute.

Impact Iglesias produced a strong effort in the 73rd minute, forcing a save with a well-placed shot toward the far right corner. He returned to the starting lineup after missing out on starts in the previous two league matches, and although he registered one of the few shots on target, it remains unclear whether he will continue to start regularly. Even so, Iglesias has still enjoyed a productive season, recording eight goals and two assists in 20 appearances, just five fewer goal contributions than last season despite playing 17 fewer matches. He has taken 28 shots overall, relying on efficiency rather than volume to find the net. If he does start again, his next league match will come against Osasuna, who currently sit mid-table.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Ilaix Moriba - Chance created against Getafe Ilaix Moriba recorded one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Getafe. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 19th minute.

Impact Moriba put in a strong effort in a match where Celta Vigo offered very little going forward and failed to score. He remains a key player for Celta Vigo and has now started the club's last five La Liga matches, recording 53 tackles on the season, a total that ranks among the highest for midfielders. Much of his value comes from his defensive work, which has played a major role in the team's recent clean sheets, but he will look to build on this foundation by contributing more in attack. Moriba's next fixture comes against Osasuna, a mid-table opponent that should provide an even matchup.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Ionut Radu - Clean sheet against Getafe Radu made two saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Getafe.

Impact Radu did his job, saving every shot he faced to record his seventh clean sheet of the La Liga season. Celta Vigo have been fairly solid defensively this year, with Radu conceding 23 goals in 22 league matches, a better record than several teams currently above them in the table. This also marked his third clean sheet in his last four league appearances, and with a strong save percentage of 75, he is clearly in good form at the moment. Radu will next face Osasuna in a mid-table matchup that should be closely contested.

Alvaro Nunez - Suffering from groin injury Nunez is out for the time being due to a groin injury, according to his club.

Impact Nunez is suffering from a dynamic pubic osteoarthritis and is set to be out for some time on the sidelines due to the groin issue. This comes just after he transferred from Elche, only with the team two days before his injury, leaving a role with the club up in the air for the time being. He could miss up to two months due to his recovery, but it appears to be a better result for the defender, hopefully an option again after a few weeks of training.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Alvaro Nunez - Completes Celta move Nunez (groin) is a new addition to Celta Vigo's roster following his departure from Elche, the club announced Monday.

Impact Nunez is currently dealing with an injury that has sidelined him from the last three games, but before that, he was very active in different positions in defense and midfield while taking set some pieces for Elche throughout the season. The 25-year-old has provided two assists while tallying 63 crosses (21 accurate) and 20 chances created over 19 games this season. He could move ahead of Sergio Carreira and Javi Rueda in the race for a right wing-back spot as soon as he's healthy.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Matias Vecino - Heads to Celta Vigo Vecino has transferred to Celta Vigo on a permanent deal from Lazio.

Impact Vecino flees Lazio after three and a half seasons during which he got consistent minutes but mostly operated off the bench. He assisted once and posted seven shots (zero on target), three key passes and 17 clearances in 13 fixtures (five starts) in the current season.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Manu Fernandez - Bench option Fernandez (ankle) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Getafe.

Impact Ferandez is on the bench for Sunday after some slight discomfort left him out midweek, with the defender fit enough for a bench spot. He remains a rotational pick, going unused often while earning starts here and there.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Bryan Zaragoza - Ruled out Sunday Zaragoza (transfer) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Getafe, the club posted.

Impact Zaragoza doesn't feature in the squad list for Sunday's clash against Getafe since he is reportedly close from exiting the club. Reports say that Roma are keen on signing him before the end of the transfer window, explaining his absence in the squad. Newcomer Fer Lopez is expected to get a greater role from scratch with the Celeste due to his absence.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Carl Starfelt - Clears illness Starfelt (illness) is back available for Sunday's clash against Getafe, the club posted.

Impact Starfelt missed Thursday's clash against Red Star Belgrade in the Europa League due to a stomach bug but could clear it fully in time to be back available for Sunday's clash against Getafe. The defender has been an undisputed starter in the back-three under coach Claudio Giraldez and there is no doubt that he will regain that role moving forward for the Celeste.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Manu Fernandez - Available against Getafe Fernandez (ankle) is in the squad list and back available for Sunday's clash against Getafe, the club posted.

Impact Fernandez seems to have recovered from his ankle injury suffered against Real Sociedad since he is back in the match squad for Sunday's clash against Getafe. This is great news for the Celeste since he will bring an additional depth option in the backline as he will likely regain his rotational role moving forward.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Williot Swedberg - No longer suspended Swedberg is available for future action after clearing his Europa League suspension in Thursday's clash with Red Star Belgrade.

Impact Swedberg will aim to bounce back to the starting lineup in either Hugo Alvarez's or Iago Aspas' place going forward. During the 2025/26 season, Swedberg has scored five goals and one assist over 18 appearances between league and UEL competitions, but he has failed to rack up consistent numbers around the pitch, and has scored only once during his last six games played.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Carl Starfelt - Misses UEL game with stomach bug Starfelt was unable to play in Thursday's Europa League meeting with Red Star Belgrade due to gastroenteritis, according to the team.

Impact Starfelt will continue to work on regaining health ahead of the weekend's La Liga trip to Getafe. He would be a likely starter under normal conditions, but this issue could limit his playing time if it extends for more days. In that case, Yoel Lago might have a rare opportunity to feature in Celta's three-man back line.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Manu Fernandez - Not traveling for UEL match Fernandez (ankle) was mentioned in coach Claudio Giraldez's press conference prior to Thursday's Europa League visit to Red Star Belgrade. "We'll see in today's training session, t...

Impact Fernandez is still working on his recovery from an ankle blow that forced him to leave Sunday's match against Real Sociedad, so Javi Rodriguez might get the nod in defense alongside Carl Starfelt and Marcos Alonso. After Thursday's match, Fernandez will be questionable for upcoming league contests but may not be ready for significant playing time.
