Mihailo Ristic - Receives green light Ristic (hamstring) received the green light from the medical staff and is an option for Monday's clash against Sevilla, the club posted.

Impact Ristic missed the last two games due to a hamstring injury that he completely cleared this week since he is back available for Monday's clash against Sevilla. The defender is expected to resume the bench role he had since the beginning of the season for the Celeste.

Williot Swedberg - Will be option vs. Sevilla Swedberg was dealing with an illness and that's why he left the 4-1 win over Valencia on Jan. 3, but he'll be available to face Sevilla on Monday, manager Claudio Giraldez told med...

Impact Swedberg will be an option for Monday's clash, although it's unclear if he'll start right away given how good Pablo Duran looked the last time out. Swedberg has three goals across 11 appearances (six starts) this season.

Carlos Dominguez - Available to play Monday Dominguez (groin) received medical clearance and will be an option to play Monday against Sevilla.

Impact Dominguez suffered an adductor injury in December, but he's fully integrated into training and will be an option for the club moving forward. He's expected to make the squad for Monday's game and could even challenge for a starting role in the back three, as he's been part of the XI in four of his six appearances this term.

Ionut Radu - Beaten once in blowout win Radu had four saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over Valencia.

Impact Radu was beaten by a long-distance shot from Pepelu in the second half, but other than that, he was impressive between the posts. Radu will aim to keep his strong run of results alive when facing Sevilla on Monday, Jan. 12.

Hugo Alvarez - Closes out scoring in win Alvarez scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 4-1 win over Valencia.

Impact Alvarez gave Celta Vigo a 4-1 lead following a clever finish after an assist from Iago Aspas. Alvarez is a regular attacking threat for the Vigo-based side, but he often lacks the end product. Alvarez has two goals in 10 league matches this season, but he earns most of his value through crosses, chances created and defensive stats.

Jones El-Abdellaoui - Nets goal in second half El-Abdellaoui scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 4-1 win against Valencia.

Impact El-Abdellaoui gave Celta a 3-1 lead late in the second half when he stole the ball from a defender and buried a finish from close range past Julen Agirrezabala (hamstring). Don't expect El-Abdellaoui to be a regular fantasy contributor, though, as he sees most of his LaLiga minutes coming off the bench.

Pablo Duran - Credited with assist Duran assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-1 victory against Valencia.

Impact Duran set up Borja Iglesias' second goal with a low cross that allowed the striker to tap the ball home. This was Duran's first assist of the league campaign, and he also has two goals in 14 matches (eight starts).

Borja Iglesias - Nets twice vs. Valencia Iglesias scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 4-1 win over Valencia.

Impact Iglesias broke the deadlock with a penalty midway through the first half, and he also added a second goal in the early stages of the second half. The brace means Iglesias is now up to seven goals and two assists this season.

Iago Aspas - Credited with assist Aspas delivered an assist and created one chance in Saturday's 4-1 victory versus Valencia.

Impact Aspas didn't find the back of the net in this blowout win, but the veteran forward left his mark with an assist in one of the goals. Aspas hasn't been as productive as he was in his prime years, but he remains a capable player. He has two goals and three assists across 16 league appearances (seven starts) so far.

Williot Swedberg - Leaves Valencia match in first half Swedberg had two crosses (zero accurate) and one interception before exiting Saturday's game against Valencia at the 28th minute due to an apparent muscular injury, El Desmarque re...

Impact Swedberg suffered a non-contact injury midway through the first half and subbed off while in significant pain. He'll have about 10 days to recover for next Monday's clash against Sevilla. Pablo Duran replaced him off the bench in this one.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Borja Iglesias - Gets the nod against Valencia Iglesias (back) is starting in Saturday's game versus Valencia.

Impact Iglesias will resume leading the line after missing one match and coming off the back two weeks ago. He hasn't been particularly productive in his last six displays, going scoreless and tallying four shots (zero on target), six key passes and four clearances.

Pablo Duran - Set to return Saturday Duran (shoulder) will be available for Saturday's game against Valencia, manager Claudio Giraldez told media Friday. "We had doubts regarding the status of Pablo, but he'll be avai...

Impact Duran has started in 11 of his 18 appearances this season, so having him back in the mix is a huge boost for Celta's attacking line. He has two goals in the league and three more in the UEFA Europa League this season.

Borja Iglesias - Will be available Saturday Iglesias (back) will be available for Saturday's game against Valencia, manager Claudio Giraldez told media Friday. "We had doubts regarding the status of Borja, but he'll be avail...

Impact Iglesias has been a reliable scoring force for Celta this season, tallying five goals and two assists across 16 appearances (10 starts) in the current campaign. Given that he's healthy and available, it wouldn't be surprising if Iglesias is back in the XI right away.

Mihailo Ristic - Suffers from hamstring injury Ristic is suffering from a hamstring injury, according to his club.

Impact Ristic is heading to the sidelines after the club's short break, as the defender is dealing with a hamstring injury. Unfortunately, this is likely to keep him out of a match or two, usually needing a week or two to recover from a strain. He is more of a replacement in the defense, a minor loss for the club.

Joseph Aidoo - Unused from bench Aidoo was unused off the bench in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Oviedo.

Impact Aidoo would return to the team sheet on Saturday but would not earn a minute, still recovering a bit of fitness after an injury. This continues a similar trend this season, only appearing in two games all season. He is likely to remain a rotational option moving forward, used more when injuries occur.

Joseph Aidoo - Receives medical clearance Aidoo (undisclosed) has been medically discharged and should be an option for Saturday's match against Oviedo, according to his club.

Impact Aidoo was out for two weeks due to a leg injury, but appears to finally be set for a return after being discharged from the injury list. This is great news for the defender who has dealt with injuries all season. However, he has yet to start this season, likely to return to a bench role now that he is fit.

Borja Iglesias - Ruled out against Oviedo Iglesias (back) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Real Oviedo, coach Claudio Giraldez said in the press conference, according to Mundo Celeste. "They drained fluid from him...

Impact Iglesias will miss the clash against Oviedo on Saturday due to back discomfort and will hope to recover during the winter break to be back available the earliest possible. Iglesias is an undisputed starter in the frontline of the Celeste, therefore his absence is forcing a change in the starting XI, with Ferran Jutgla expected to replace him as the striker on Saturday.

Getafe stunned by second-tier Burgos in Copa del Rey, Athletic and Real Betis advance

Getafe has become the latest top-division club to be eliminated in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey after losing 3-1 to second-tier team Burgos

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • Associated Press

Borja Iglesias - Suffers back problem Iglesias was forced off late in Wednesday's defeat against Albacete in the Copa del Rey after suffering a back problem, according to El Desmarque.

Impact Iglesias played one half and scored once before being forced off late after suffering a heavy knock to his back. The striker will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the problem, and see if no major injury is confirmed, but an absence from the number 9 would be a blow for the Celeste since he is an undisputed starter in the frontline when fit. If he were to miss some time, Ferran Jutgla would likely see increased playing time while he is sidelined.

Jones El-Abdellaoui - Scores off bench in win El-Abdellaoui scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Athletic.

Impact El-Abdellaoui subbed on for Ferran Jutgla and made the score sheet with a chip finish after 10 minutes of the second half against Athletic. The youngster found the back of the net for the first time in eight league appearances. He has been used mostly as a backup option, but the goal should help him be considered more often in the contention with Jutgla and Bryan Zaragoza for upcoming contests.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Williot Swedberg - Scores against Athletic Club Swedberg scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Athletic.

Impact Swedberg gave his team the lead via close-range header in the 48th minute of the win. Other than that, the attacker drew two fouls and missed one chance during his longest appearance since returning from an ankle injury in late November. His three goals and one assist over the last three official games have been a differential factor for his team to obtain a pair of unlikely victories. Such run of form makes him the top choice in attacking midfield while Pablo Duran (shoulder) is out.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Oscar Mingueza - Wins 10 duels in victory Mingueza recorded five tackles (three won) and one clearance in Sunday's 2-0 win against Athletic.

Impact Mingueza was effective at recovering and maintaining possession on the left flank, although he wasn't a big threat up front during this clash. His five tackles were a season-high tally after 19 appearances in all competitions. With set pieces becoming increasingly scarce for him, his value should continue to come from defensive output against most opposition, and possibly some creative actions in favorable matchups.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Carl Starfelt - Makes five clearances in victory Starfelt recorded five clearances in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Athletic.

Impact Starfelt did a good job as the central member of a back three that stopped the Bilbao side's potent attack. He has made four consecutive starts across all competitions, helping his team to achieve a couple of clean sheets during that span. He's mainly reliable for passes and defensive stats in his current role, with high numbers of clearances standing out among his recent contributions.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ionut Radu - Saves penalty in clean sheet win Radu had two saves and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Athletic.

Impact Radu denied Nico Williams a spot-kick attempt during the second half for a strong fantasy outing. The goalkeeper is in great form with clean sheets in three of his last five matches played, including one against Real Madrid. He should have a good chance to remain productive next weekend versus an Oviedo side that is last in the league with seven goals scored this season.
