Trains normally Beltran (foot) was spotted training normally with the team this week and should be an option for Monday's derby against Barcelona, according to Claudia Espinosa from Sport.

Impact Beltran was forced off in Sunday's draw against Sevilla with a foot issue, but it turned out to be minor, as the midfielder was back in full training with the squad this week and is in the mix for Monday's derby against Barcelona. That said, the midfield battle is heating up with Azzedine Ounahi (foot) nearing his return from injury, which clouds Beltran's role moving forward. Even if he is available, his minutes with his new club remain far from guaranteed given the growing competition for spots.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Moving to Girona Beltran has signed with Girona for the next four and a half years following his departure from Celta Vigo, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Beltran will look to become a regular midfield force for his new squad after featuring in 14 games between La Liga and Europa League competitions for Celta in the 2025/26 season. He's not a regular participant in goals but could be expected to rack up passes and ball recovery stats. He'll be in contention for playing time mainly with Ivan Martin and Axel Witsel (calf).

JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Beltran is expected to claim back his starting role moving forward.

Picks up strain Beltran has suffered a strain in his thigh and is out for the time being, according to his club.

Impact Beltran has received unfortunate news during his preseason preparations, as the midfielder will now miss time ahead of the season due to a strain. This will leave him as a bit of a question mark for the start of the season, possibly missing the opening match if he doesn't recover quickly. He is slated to be a starter in the midfield, so this could be a tough loss for the club, with Hugo Alvarez as a replacement if he doesn't reach full fitness before Aug. 17.

This was also his fifth consecutive season with more than 20 tackles won and the third time in the last four seasons that he registered over 30.

FEBRUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Betis Beltran (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Sunday's trip to Betis.

Impact Beltran is good to go after leaving early from Celta's previous match against Getafe. The midfielder starts his second consecutive match as a defensive minded option in the center of the pitch for Celta.

NOVEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off injured Beltran was brought off with an apparent injury during Monday's clash with Getafe.

Impact Beltran was brought off in the 75th minute, seemingly suffering some sort of discomfort. It's not clear how serious the issue is for Beltran, but he will be a doubt for Sunday's trip to Betis, the final match before the November international break.

Impact Beltran closed the scoring for Celta emphatically, as the central midfielder latched on a clearance and blasted a volley that sneaked into an impossible angle for Giorgi Mamardashvili. The central midfielder is not going to be a regular scorer, but he can be a menace with his long-range shooting, as evidenced in this match.

AUGUST 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Busy in cup rout Beltran shot once and played 78 minutes during Wednesday's 3-1 win over Valencia in the Copa del Rey.

Impact Beltran has been one of the first names on the team sheet this season and he's been a consistent producer in all competitions. The defensive midfielder's only downside has been that he has struggled going forward, with no goal contributions through 17 appearances (13 starts.) Still if Beltran can stay fit he should have the chance to rectify that in the back half of the season.

Impact Beltran kept four clean sheets from 36 La Liga appearances (33 starts) in midfield this season for Celta, and he recorded his first two assists in the competition against Betis and Valencia in October and May, respectively. The 24-year-old should continue as a regular in the club's XI for 2023/24, even if he was a bit overshadowed by the emergence of teammate Gabriel Veiga during this campaign.

JUNE 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Barca Beltran (undisclosed) is in Celta's starting lineup for Sunday's season finale against Barcelona.

Impact Beltran has recovered from an injury that had sidelined him for his side's last two games and he's fit enough to return to the XI in midfield on Sunday.
