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.

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.

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.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Williot Swedberg - Suspended for UEL play Swedberg is suspended for a Europa League match.

Impact Swedberg is not an option for the club's final league stage match in UEL play, with the attacker suspended due to yellow card accumulation. He will only miss the one match and return as they enter the round of 16, starting in three of his four appearances in the competition while recording two goals and one assist.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Fer Lopez - Loaned to Celta Lopez has been loaned to Celta Vigo from Wolves, according to his new club.

Impact Lopez is back in Spain and back with his old club, just half a season after his transfer, with the attacker reuniting with Celta. This comes after he only earned two starts in nine appearances with Wolves this season, recording one assist. With his seven starts in 17 appearances and two goals last season with Celta, he is likely to work into time, although more of a rotational pick.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Manu Fernandez - Suffers ankle injury Fernandez was forced off at the break in Sunday's 3-1 defeat against Real Sociedad due to an ankle injury, coach Claudio Giraldez said in a press conference, according to Mundo Cel...

Impact Fernandez suffered a bad tackle in the first half of Sunday's defeat against Real Sociedad and asked to be substituted at the break due to a swollen ankle. The defender will be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the injury, but a potential absence for the upcoming fixtures would not impact the starting XI since Fernandez was in the starting lineup for the first time since late December.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Marcos Alonso - Three shots from defense Alonso had three shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-1 defeat to Real Sociedad.

Impact Alonso would earn a season-high in shots Sunday, with the defender recording three despite his position further back. That said, he wouldn't score, still with one goal all season. He would also record two tackles and four clearances in the defense.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Jones El-Abdellaoui - Whips in six crosses El-Abdellaoui had three shots (zero on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 3-1 defeat against Real Sociedad.

Impact El-Abdellaoui would earn the start Sunday after a bench spot in their past two games. He would have a decent outing with his three shots, three chances created and six crosses, giving him a new season-high for crosses in a match. He remains a rotational pick, with two starts in 12 appearances.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Borja Iglesias - Scores lone goal Iglesias scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 3-1 defeat to Real Sociedad.

Impact Iglesias would appear off the bench Sunday to score a goal, entering in the 56th minute and scoring in the 72nd minute. This is his eighth goal of the season, with his last coming two appearances ago. He now has eight goals and two assists in 19 appearances (12 starts) this season.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Ionut Radu - Concedes three against Sociedad Radu made one save and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-1 defeat to Real Sociedad.

Impact Radu would only make one save Sunday in a rough outing, going on to allow three goals. This marks a second straight match without a clean sheet, with six in 21 league appearances this season. He will face Red Star in a midweek UEL match before facing Getafe on Feb. 1 in league play, a decent chance to pick up a seventh clean sheet.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Carlos Dominguez - Option again Dominguez (ankle) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Real Sociedad.

Impact Dominguez is no longer injured and hopes to actually remain fit this time, returning from a second injury within the past month. With only eight appearances (five starts), he is likely to remain a rotational option moving forward.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Carlos Dominguez - Should be an option Sunday Dominguez (ankle) should be an option for Sunday's clash against Real Sociedad, coach Claudio Giraldez said in the press conference, according to Mundo Celeste. "A priori, everyone...

Impact Dominguez returned from a groin injury last week before missing the last game against Lille in the Europa League due to a minor ankle injury that he likely cleared ahead of Sunday's clash against the Basques. Dominguez has mainly been a bench option for the Celeste this season and will likely regain that role now that he is an option once again.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Ferran Jutgla - Unused substitute Thursday Jutgla (undisclosed) was an unused substitute during Thursday's UEFA Europa League win over Lille.

Impact Jutgla is close to making his return to the field despite not seeing any action in the midweek duel. He has scored twice and assisted once in 19 official appearances this season, although he was in weak form before getting hurt. He'll likely make a gradual return in a rotation with Borja Iglesias, Pablo Duran and Iago Aspas.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Mihailo Ristic - Makes brief appearance in UEL win Ristic (hamstring) played as a substitute during Thursday's UEFA Europa League win over Lille.

Impact Ristic logged only a few minutes of play in stoppage time, making his comeback after being sidelined since Dec. 14 due to a muscle issue. The defender might not be a regular option in the next few fixtures but could have some attacking upside if used in a wing-back slot as either Oscar Mingueza's or Javi Rueda's substitute.
