Borja Iglesias - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

No longer suspended Iglesias has served his one-game Europa League ban, so he can be selected going forward.

Impact Iglesias should regain a starting spot over Pablo Duran and Iago Aspas for most of the remaining games in the 2025/26 season. Having scored a team-high 11 La Liga goals and two more in the European competition, Iglesias is expected to remain one of the squad's top attacking options.

Impact Iglesias is ruled out for Thursday's Europa League second leg against Lyon after seeing red in the first leg last week. The striker has been a locked-in starter up top, so his absence leaves a real gap in the frontline. Pablo Duran and Iago Aspas are in line to take on bigger roles in attack for the Celeste.

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.

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.

Takes six shots in draw Iglesias had six shots (three on target) and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Iglesias couldn't extend his scoring streak but it wasn't due to lack of trying as he paced all players in shots attempted here. If the forward can keep up with this pace after the international break, he will have a strong chance of not only surpassing his output from the debut campaign with Celta last year but also to put up the best numbers of his career.
