Borja Iglesias - Nets twice vs. Valencia Iglesias scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 4-1 win over Valencia.

Impact Iglesias broke the deadlock with a penalty midway through the first half, and he also added a second goal in the early stages of the second half. The brace means Iglesias is now up to seven goals and two assists this season.

Iago Aspas - Credited with assist Aspas delivered an assist and created one chance in Saturday's 4-1 victory versus Valencia.

Impact Aspas didn't find the back of the net in this blowout win, but the veteran forward left his mark with an assist in one of the goals. Aspas hasn't been as productive as he was in his prime years, but he remains a capable player. He has two goals and three assists across 16 league appearances (seven starts) so far.

Impact Swedberg suffered a non-contact injury midway through the first half and subbed off while in significant pain. He'll have about 10 days to recover for next Monday's clash against Sevilla. Pablo Duran replaced him off the bench in this one.

Borja Iglesias - Gets the nod against Valencia Iglesias (back) is starting in Saturday's game versus Valencia.

Impact Iglesias will resume leading the line after missing one match and coming off the back two weeks ago. He hasn't been particularly productive in his last six displays, going scoreless and tallying four shots (zero on target), six key passes and four clearances.

Impact Duran has started in 11 of his 18 appearances this season, so having him back in the mix is a huge boost for Celta's attacking line. He has two goals in the league and three more in the UEFA Europa League this season.

Impact Iglesias has been a reliable scoring force for Celta this season, tallying five goals and two assists across 16 appearances (10 starts) in the current campaign. Given that he's healthy and available, it wouldn't be surprising if Iglesias is back in the XI right away.

Mihailo Ristic - Suffers from hamstring injury Ristic is suffering from a hamstring injury, according to his club.

Impact Ristic is heading to the sidelines after the club's short break, as the defender is dealing with a hamstring injury. Unfortunately, this is likely to keep him out of a match or two, usually needing a week or two to recover from a strain. He is more of a replacement in the defense, a minor loss for the club.

Joseph Aidoo - Unused from bench Aidoo was unused off the bench in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Oviedo.

Impact Aidoo would return to the team sheet on Saturday but would not earn a minute, still recovering a bit of fitness after an injury. This continues a similar trend this season, only appearing in two games all season. He is likely to remain a rotational option moving forward, used more when injuries occur.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Joseph Aidoo - Receives medical clearance Aidoo (undisclosed) has been medically discharged and should be an option for Saturday's match against Oviedo, according to his club.

Impact Aidoo was out for two weeks due to a leg injury, but appears to finally be set for a return after being discharged from the injury list. This is great news for the defender who has dealt with injuries all season. However, he has yet to start this season, likely to return to a bench role now that he is fit.

Borja Iglesias - Ruled out against Oviedo Iglesias (back) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Real Oviedo, coach Claudio Giraldez said in the press conference, according to Mundo Celeste. "They drained fluid from him...

Impact Iglesias will miss the clash against Oviedo on Saturday due to back discomfort and will hope to recover during the winter break to be back available the earliest possible. Iglesias is an undisputed starter in the frontline of the Celeste, therefore his absence is forcing a change in the starting XI, with Ferran Jutgla expected to replace him as the striker on Saturday.

Borja Iglesias - 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.

Jones El-Abdellaoui - Scores off bench in win El-Abdellaoui scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Athletic.

Impact El-Abdellaoui subbed on for Ferran Jutgla and made the score sheet with a chip finish after 10 minutes of the second half against Athletic. The youngster found the back of the net for the first time in eight league appearances. He has been used mostly as a backup option, but the goal should help him be considered more often in the contention with Jutgla and Bryan Zaragoza for upcoming contests.

Williot Swedberg - Scores against Athletic Club Swedberg scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Athletic.

Impact Swedberg gave his team the lead via close-range header in the 48th minute of the win. Other than that, the attacker drew two fouls and missed one chance during his longest appearance since returning from an ankle injury in late November. His three goals and one assist over the last three official games have been a differential factor for his team to obtain a pair of unlikely victories. Such run of form makes him the top choice in attacking midfield while Pablo Duran (shoulder) is out.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Oscar Mingueza - Wins 10 duels in victory Mingueza recorded five tackles (three won) and one clearance in Sunday's 2-0 win against Athletic.

Impact Mingueza was effective at recovering and maintaining possession on the left flank, although he wasn't a big threat up front during this clash. His five tackles were a season-high tally after 19 appearances in all competitions. With set pieces becoming increasingly scarce for him, his value should continue to come from defensive output against most opposition, and possibly some creative actions in favorable matchups.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Carl Starfelt - Makes five clearances in victory Starfelt recorded five clearances in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Athletic.

Impact Starfelt did a good job as the central member of a back three that stopped the Bilbao side's potent attack. He has made four consecutive starts across all competitions, helping his team to achieve a couple of clean sheets during that span. He's mainly reliable for passes and defensive stats in his current role, with high numbers of clearances standing out among his recent contributions.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ionut Radu - Saves penalty in clean sheet win Radu had two saves and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Athletic.

Impact Radu denied Nico Williams a spot-kick attempt during the second half for a strong fantasy outing. The goalkeeper is in great form with clean sheets in three of his last five matches played, including one against Real Madrid. He should have a good chance to remain productive next weekend versus an Oviedo side that is last in the league with seven goals scored this season.

Pablo Duran - Out three weeks Duran (shoulder) is expected to miss around the next three weeks of action due to his injury, according to his club.

Impact Duran was dealing with a shoulder injury and has received his timeline for a return, with the forward out for the next three weeks. This is rough for the club, as he is a starter, starting in 11 of his 18 appearances this campaign. Iago Aspas and Williot Swedberg are likely to see more time while he is out, likely returning in January.

Carlos Dominguez - Suffers adductor injury Dominquez is suffering from an adductor injury and is out for the time being, according to his club.

Impact Dominguez is hitting the sidelines for the club moving forward, with the defender not an option after suffering from an adductor injury. Luckily for the club, this will not be a major absence, as he has not played since the start of November either way. A return could potentially come following the winter break.

Bryan Zaragoza - Records assist Zaragoza assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-0 victory versus Real Madrid.

Impact Zaragoza would earn a second consecutive start Sunday and make the most of the time, with the midfielder earning an assist on Williot Swedberg's 53rd minute goal. This is his first assists in league play this season, although he does have three in UEL play. That said, it was also his first goal contribution in 14 league appearances this season.
