Impact Starfelt has been out for some time due to a back injury, and the exact reason has finally been figured out, with the defender suffering from a herniated disc. Unfortunately, with only a few matches left this season, it puts his season in jeopardy.

Matias Vecino - Back on grass, not yet ready Vecino (adductor) began outdoor field work Wednesday and is continuing his recovery, but remains short of rejoining team training and will not be available for Sunday's clash again...

Impact Vecino had been ruled out after feeling a pinch in his adductor during training ahead of the Villarreal fixture, and while his return to outdoor activity is an encouraging step, the timeline makes Sunday's clash too soon for the experienced midfielder. Ilaix Moriba is expected to continue covering in the midfield until Vecino is fully reintegrated with the group in the coming days.

Williot Swedberg - Trains with team, should return Swedberg (calf) resumed full team training without restrictions and is targeting a return for Sunday's clash against Elche, according to La Voz de Galicia.

Impact Swedberg had been ruled out of the Villarreal fixture after picking up a calf overload, but his progression to full collective sessions just days later confirms the issue was not serious. The Swedish forward has not yet received his official medical clearance, but training without limitations is the clearest sign yet that he is ready to return to competitive action. Fer Lopez had been covering in the front line during his absence and could return to a backup role with Swedberg pushing to regain his starting spot against Elche.

He has now conceded 12 goals over his last five contests and has made 11 saves over that stretch.

Impact Dominguez had been a late scratch for the Barcelona fixture after his illness forced a last-minute squad change, but his recovery in time for the weekend is a welcome development for Celta Vigo.

Impact Swedberg's absence from Saturday's session is a concern for Celta Vigo heading into the weekend with no details provided on the nature of the issue. The Swedish forward has been an important attacking option and his potential absence would force a reshuffle in the front line, with Fer Lopez the most likely candidate to step in until Swedberg returns to full fitness.
