Impact Dominguez had been included in the initial squad list before his illness forced a last-minute change, leaving coach Claudio Giraldez to reshuffle his defensive options ahead of a demanding fixture against the league leaders. Carl Starfelt and Miguel Roman are also unavailable due to injury, compounding the defensive concerns for Celta. His availability for the April 26 clash against Villarreal will depend on how quickly he recovers from the illness.

Impact Alvarez had been sidelined for around three to four weeks after suffering a grade two ankle sprain in the win over Valencia, making his return a timely boost for Celta Vigo heading into one of their biggest European nights of the season. The attacker should slot back into the rotation and give coach Giraldez another option in the front line, with Williot Swedberg, Ferran Jutgla and Pablo Duran having covered during his absence.

Javi Rodriguez - Set for return Rodriguez is an option again after serving his suspension.

Impact Rodriguez served a one-game suspension and is now back as an option, set to face Barcelona next contest. He is a regular in the defense with his 21 starts in 26 appearances, notching five clean sheets in the process.

Carl Starfelt - Back issue keeps him sidelined Starfelt remains unavailable for the time being as he continues to manage his back injury, the club posted.

Impact Starfelt will now miss a fourth consecutive match with a back issue, and with no timeline provided for his return, Celta Vigo will need to continue managing without one of their regular defensive options. Joseph Aidoo, Javi Rodriguez, Marcos Alonso, Carlos Dominguez and Alvaro Nunez have been combining to fill the back three in his absence, and the club will monitor his progress carefully before making any decisions on his return to the matchday squad.

Carl Starfelt - Still missing Starfelt (back) is out for Thursday's match against Frieburg, according to manager Claudio Giraldez, per Rafa Valero of Marca. "He is an important player for us but we have had man...

Impact Starfelt is still going to miss some more time as he deals with a back injury, as the club is set to head into UEL action without him. This marks a third straight game out for the defender, with the club not having a starter available. With Stareflt out, Joseph Aidoo, Javi Rodriguez, Marcos Alonso, Carlos Dominguez and Alvaro Nunez will combine to make a back three, as the club does see normal rotation.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Iago Aspas - Receives medical clearance Aspas (achilles) has been cleared of injury and is an option for the club moving forward, according to his club.

Impact Aspas missed the last match with some Achilles issues but is set for his return, no longer dealing with the injury. This gives the club another option in the attack, as he serves more of a rotational role. That said, with eight starts in 24 appearances this campaign, he is likely to remain a depth option for the club.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Matias Vecino - Cleared for play Vecino (calf) is fit for play moving forward after receiving medical clearance, according to his club.

Impact Vecino has missed two games with his injury but is set for a return moving forward, as he has been medically cleared for action. This is huge news for the club as it gives them back another option in the midfield. He has only started in four of his seven matches since joining the club, part of the regular rotation the club sees.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Hugo Alvarez - Ankle sprain confirmed Alvarez (ankle) is out for the time being due to a grade two ankle sprain, according to his club.

Impact Alvarez is heading to the sidelines for a spell of time moving forward, as he suffered an ankle sprain in Sunday's win over Valencia. Unfortunately for the attacker, he will miss around three weeks to a month, dealing with a decent absence that should last until the end of April. He has been seeing starting time, so this will open up some minutes for teammates, with Williot Swedberg, Ferran Jutgla and Pablo Duran likely to see more time.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Fer Lopez - Opens league scoring account Lopez scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-2 victory against Valencia.

Impact Lopez opened his league account for the club with his second goal since joining on loan from Wolves in January, having previously scored on his debut for the team in the Europa League. He has accumulated seven shots and two chances created across his last three appearances in all competitions.

Ilaix Moriba - Scores first season goal Ilaix Moriba scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and two chances created in Sunday's 3-2 victory against Valencia.

Impact Moriba returned to the lineup after recovering from the knee injury suffered before the international break and made an immediate impact at both ends of the pitch. Offensively, the midfielder contributed a goal and an assist, with the goal being his first of the season, while defensively, he made four tackles (won three) alongside two clearances.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Williot Swedberg - Impactful cameo Swedberg scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and one chance created in Sunday's 3-2 win versus Valencia.

Impact Swedberg made a hugely impactful cameo, contributing a goal and an assist to end a 14 game scoring drought in the league. The forward has now recorded three goals and four assists across his last nine appearances in all competitions for the club.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Ionut Radu - Allows two in win Radu recorded two saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 3-2 victory against Valencia.

Impact Radu's difficult run continues as the goalkeeper remains without a clean sheet in his last five league games, conceding two goals in three of his past four outings. Though it is worth noting that the team has been heavily rotating in the league due to their Europa League commitments, he has still managed 14 saves during that stretch. He will have the chance to bounce back on Sunday against Real Oviedo, the lowest scoring side in the league.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Pablo Duran - Signs extension Duran has extended with Celta Vigo, according to his club.

Impact Duran is sticking around Celta for the next few seasons, inking an extension until summer 2028. This comes as he continues in more of a rotational role with the club, starting in 13 of his 23 appearances while notching two goals and two assists. At age 24, he still has time to grow his role, something he will look to do during his extension.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Javi Rodriguez - Suspended one game Rodriguez will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in La Liga.

Impact Rodriguez picked up his fifth yellow card in La Liga play and will serve a one-match suspension for Sunday's clash against Real Oviedo. The center-back has been an undisputed starter in the back three for the Celeste this season, therefore his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Alvaro Nunez expected to take his spot in defense for that game.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Hugo Alvarez - Leaves with ankle injury in win Alvarez picked up a knock after a stomp on his ankle during Sunday's 3-2 win over Valencia, Marcos Bacariza of MoiCeleste.com reports.

Impact Alvarez will hope to be dealing with a minor issue, but he'll be questionable for the next UEL clash against Freiburg until his status is confirmed. After starting the last three league games as a winger and scoring one goal in that span, Alvarez would be an important attacking asset for his club if fully fit. Otherwise, his spot could be covered by either Williot Swedberg or Fer Lopez.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Carl Starfelt - Left out of squad again Starfelt (undisclosed) was left out of the matchday squad for Sunday's clash against Valencia, the club posted.

Impact Starfelt has been dealing with muscular problems on and off in recent weeks, and despite logging 27 starts in 30 appearances across all competitions this season, the club is opting not to risk him again on Sunday. Joseph Aidoo and Carlos Dominguez are the most likely candidates to pick up extra minutes in the back-three during his absence. The club has not provided a timeline for his return, and his availability going forward will depend on how the muscular situation evolves over the coming days.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Ilaix Moriba - Medically cleared Moriba (knee) has been medically cleared of his injury, according to his club.

Impact Moriba is back in the mix after a slight injury scare, suffering a knee injury that he has recovered from over the international break. This is a huge return for the midfielder after only missing one game, adding another solid option to the midfield as the club continues its Europa League campaign. He started in five of their past six games, so he is likely to reassume a starting role once building up some minutes again.

APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE

Iago Aspas - Suffering from Achilles injury Aspas is out for the time being due to a mild tendinopathy in his Achilles, according to his club.

Impact Aspas is hitting the sidelines for an unknown amount of time, potentially missing only a few weeks due to the injury. With the current grade as minor, this is good news, as anything more could put a return within the month at risk. He has dropped to more of a rotational role this campaign, so this is more of a rotational loss moving forward, scoring four goals and three assists in 24 appearances (eight starts) this season.
