Joseph Aidoo - Ruled out Sunday Aidoo (undisclosed) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Real Madrid due to injury, coach Claudio Giraldez said in the press conference, according to Mundo Celeste. "The only on...

Impact Aidoo suffered an injury in the last game that still needs to be assessed by the medical staff which rules him out for Sunday's clash against Real Madrid. The defender has almost only been a bench option for the Celeste this season, therefore his absence won't impact the starting XI.

Bryan Zaragoza - Active as crossing threat Zaragoza had one shot (zero on goal), 11 crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Espanyol.

Impact Zaragoza was Celta's main playmaking threat in this match, but aside from taking set-pieces and sending crosses, he didn't do much. The talented midfielder should remain a starter for Celta, but his lack of end product limits his fantasy upside. He's yet to record a goal or an assist in 13 Liga matches this term.

DECEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Marcos Alonso - Five clearances in loss Alonso registered two shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Espanyol. He also added five clearances.

Impact As has been the trend all season long, Alonso was active defensively but also mustered a few shots on goal. Despite playing as a center-back, the veteran has taken 11 shots and created seven chances in 14 games across LaLiga and the Europa League. When adding that to his defensive numbers, Alonso is a solid option to add value on defense, given his peripheral stats -- even if Celta aren't known for posting many clean sheets.

DECEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Ionut Radu - Beaten late in second half Radu registered one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Espanyol.

Impact Radu was beaten by a Kike Garcia header late in the second half, although to be fair, he could've done a bit more to deny that goal. Radu only has one clean sheet on the season, and Celta's defensive problems certainly limit his upside in most slates.

DECEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Williot Swedberg - Option from bench Swedberg (ankle) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Espaynol.

Impact Swedberg was not in the club's midweek match despite his clearance for play, but is with the club Sunday, appearing in a bench role. He has only started in four of his 10 appearances this campaign, likely needing to build up minutes after the long absence.

NOVEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Carlos Dominguez - Fit for bench Dominguez (ankle) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Espanyol.

Impact Dominguez was deemed available for Sunday and is with the club, as the defender is on the bench after his ankle issues. This ends a three-match absence where he is likely to see a rotational role, starting in six games thus far, but going unused often as well.

NOVEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Fran Beltran - Fit to start Beltran (illness) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Espanyol.

Impact Beltran had missed the club's last match but is back with his team Sunday after receiving clearance, with the midfielder starting immediately after his injury. He serves more of a rotational role for the club, going between the bench and starting XI, a role he should remain in moving forward.

NOVEMBER 30 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM

Carlos Dominguez - Available against Espanyol Dominguez (ankle) is available for Sunday's clash against Espanyol, the club announced.

Impact Dominguez has received the medical clearance after recovering from an ankle injury and is back available for Sunday's clash against Espanyol. This is good news for the Celeste since he will be a nice depth option in the backline moving forward now that he is available.

NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Fran Beltran - Receives medical clearance Beltran (illness) is available for Sunday's clash against Espanyol, the club announced.

Impact Beltran has cleared his illness and is back available for Sunday's clash against Espanyol. This is good news for the Celeste since he has been a regular starter in the midfield and will bring a boost to the team after missing the midweed loss against Ludogorets. Beltran is expected to claim back his starting role moving forward.

NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Williot Swedberg - Not playing in Europa League Swedberg (ankle) is not in the squad for Thursday's Europa League match against Ludogorets.

Impact Swedberg has medical clearance to play, but he won't feature in this contest. His next chance to return will come against Espanyol in LaLiga over the weekend.

NOVEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Hugo Alvarez - Available off bench Thursday Alvarez (ankle) is on the bench for Thursday's Europa League match against Ludogorets.

Impact Alvarez received medical clearance to play earlier in the week, so it's not surprising to see the winger available for this clash. He should see minutes off the bench, but his fantasy involvement will be minimal since he's firmly a backup in the final third.

NOVEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Fran Beltran - Dealing with illness Beltran (illness) is ruled out for Thursday's clash against Ludogorets in the Europa League due to a flu, the club announced.

Impact Beltran is currently dealing with a flu and will not be available for Thursday's clash against Ludogorets in the Europa League. That said, he should be able to recover in time for Sunday's clash against Espanyol. If that is not the case, Hugo Sotelo is expected to replace him in the midfield for the Celeste.

NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Hugo Alvarez - Receives medical clearance Alvarez (ankle) has been cleared by the medical team for play, according to the club.

Impact Alvarez missed the last three games due to an ankle injury, but appears to be fit for his return this week, with the forward cleared by the medical staff. He has been mainly a bench option for the Celeste this season and will likely resume that role in the midweek match against Ludogorets or Sunday's clash against Espanyol.

NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Williot Swedberg - Cleared be medical Swedberg (ankle) has been cleared by his medical team for play, according to his club.

Impact Swedberg has not played in over a month due to his ankle injury, but appears to be in for his return this week, with the attacker cleared for play. He started in four of his eight appearances before the injury, more of a rotational option. With a midweek match agaisnt Ludogorets and facing Espanyol on Sunday, he will have two chances to return this week, more than likely to make an appearance.

NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Carreira Vilarino - Active defensively in win Carreira recorded three tackles (two won), four clearances and one interception in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Deportivo Alaves. He also created one chance.

Impact Carreira slotted on his regular left wing-back role and posted a solid stat line on the defensive end. However, he was unable to make a big impact as an attacking threat. His two-way ability is key for Celta, but most of his scoring contributions tend to come on the defensive side of the ball.

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Ilaix Moriba - Decent two-way display in win Moriba generated two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 win over Deportivo Alaves. He also added four tackles, two clearances and one interception.

Impact Moriba didn't find the back of the net in this game, but he made his presence felt on both sides of the ball and racked up decent defensive stats. He's started in all but three of his 13 Liga appearances so far, but as a holding midfielder who doesn't contribute forward too much, his fantasy upside is limited. He only has one assist, 10 shots and 10 chances created in those 13 contests.

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Iago Aspas - Nets game-winning goal Aspas scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Aspas came through when Celta needed him the most, and the veteran striker slotted the game-winning goal with a perfect penalty in the early stages of the second half. Aspas remains productive for Celta even if he's not starting regularly. Between LaLiga and the UEFA Europa League, he has two goals and two assists over his last six appearances (three starts).

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Ionut Radu - First clean sheet of season Radu had two saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Radu bounced back admirably in his return to domestic action, as he kept his first clean sheet of the season after conceding four to Barcelona the last time out. Radu is hard to trust in fantasy due to Celta's defensive woes, but his role as the team's No. 1 goalkeeper isn't in danger.

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Oscar Mingueza - Returns to bench Mingueza (illness) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Alaves.

Impact Mingueza has been in full training throughout the entire week, and the illness that sidelined him against Barcelona is no longer an issue, but he returns to the bench as he continues to rebuild full match sharpness. The staff want him available without exposing him to a heavy workload too quickly.

NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Oscar Mingueza - Should be available Saturday Mingueza (illness) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against Alaves, manager Claudio Giraldez told media during Friday's pre-match press conference. "Swedberg, Doming...

Impact Mingueza has been in full training throughout the entire week, and the illness that sidelined him against Barcelona is no longer an issue, so he should be ready to handle his regular workload as a wing-back. Mingueza is one of the best two-way full-backs in LaLiga and is a solid option in most formats.
