Franco Cervi - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Returns off bench Cervi came off the bench during the second half of Thursday's 2-1 win over Nice.

Impact Cervi has been sidelined with a hand injury and was back in training earlier in the week. The midfielder is now back available, after making his season debut. It's unlikely Cervi plays a big role moving forward as he's more likely than not going to be an end of the bench option.

Discharged from hospital Cervi (hand) has been discharged from the hospital and is an option moving forward, according to his club.

Impact Cervi suffered a hanf contusion around a week ago but is already back in team training, with the midfielder discharged from his injuries Tuesday. This will leave him fit moving forward, likely to take the field next contest. He has yet to make his season debut this season, so he will likely earn a bench spot in his return to action.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers hand contusion Cervi has picked up a hand injury, according to his club.

Impact Cervi will hit the sidelines for the club this week, with the midfielder struggling due to a hand injury. That said, he is likely to be doubtful for Sunday's match against Real Sociedad, needing to get back into training to be an option. There is a chance he could be involved in a limited manner, but if he is, a minor role will be given to him, as he has yet to appear in this campaign.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Not available vs. Mallorca Cervi (calf) is not in the squad for Saturday's game against Mallorca.

Impact Cervi missed the season opener and won't be ready to participate in this contest, either. His next chance to play will come against Real Betis on Aug. 27, but his availability will depend on his recovery process from a calf injury he sustained in the preseason. He's back in training, so it seems this is just a matter of Cervi gaining enough fitness to play rather than him suffering a setback.

AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE

Not available for opener Cervi (calf) is not available for Sunday's clash against Getafe as the game comes too soon for him,coach Claudio Giraldez said in the press conference, according to Mundo Celeste....

Impact Cervi has been cleared from the hospital and is training partially with the team, but the opener against Getafe on Sunday comes too soon for him and he will ultimately miss it. That said, he is expected to have a rotational role this season, therefore his absence does not impact the starting XI.

AUGUST 16 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to full fitness Cervi (calf) has been discharged from the hospital and appears to be an option again, according to his club.

Impact Cervi looks to be over his calf injury after a few weeks injured, as the midfielder has been training partially and has now been cleared from the medical unit. This is decent news for the club, as he is fit just a week ahead of their opener against Getafe on Aug. 17. He is likely set for more of a rotational role, probably finding the bench in his return.

AUGUST 8 • ROTOWIRE

Resumes partial training Cervi (calf) has been training partially in Tuesday's session, according to Mundo Celeste.

Impact Cervi suffered a calf injury during pre-season and spent the last two weeks training individually. That said, he resumed partial team training during Tuesday's session, showing good progress in his recovery. If everything goes as planned, he should be available for the start of the La Liga season, although he will likely remain a bench option moving forward.

AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers calf injury Cervi has suffered a calf injury and is limited to individual training, according to his club.

Impact Cervi is heading to the sidelines this offseason, with the midfielder suffering the injury during a friendly. This is a tough development for him, as he will now have to take a break and potentially miss the start of the season. He was more of a reserve option for the club last season, but will hope to be fit soon, as he may lose any minutes he did hold if not fit for the start of the season.

JULY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Bench spot Friday Cevri (hamstring) is on the bench for Friday's match against Osasuna.

Impact Cevri was expected to return Friday and has, as he found a spot on the bench after a few weeks out with a hamstring injury. He did start in the four matches leading up to his injury but had only appeared twice before that all season, mainly going unused, so he will hope to see the starting spot back but may see more time on the bench than in the starting XI.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Makes squad to face Osasuna Cervi (hamstring) has been included in the squad for Friday's match against Osasuna.

Impact Cervi was initially expected to miss around three weeks, but it seems the wing-back has recovered quicker than expected and will be part of the squad for this clash. Cervi has seen more minutes as the season progresses, and his versatility is valuable for the coaching staff due to his ability to play multiple positions.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Three weeks out Cervi (hamstring) will be out for at least three weeks due to a hamstring injury, the club announced.

Impact Cervi had been a regular starter for the last four games after a difficult start to the season where he was mainly used as a bench option. His increased playing time came primarily due to the injury to Iago Aspas (calf), whom he replaced twice in the frontline. Cervi will miss at least the next three weeks, and both Mihailo Ristic and Hugo Alvarez are expected to see increased playing time in Cervi's natural position on the left flank.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Likely torn hamstring muscle Cervi looks to have suffered a possible tear in his right hamstring and is set for a long time on the sidelines.

Impact This is news that Cervi did not want to hear after suffering a possible muscle tear to his hamstring against Valencia. He was just getting good minutes for Celta, with four starts in the last five appearances. A better timeline of his return is expected to be revealed later in the week with a final diagnosis following further scans.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Does not feature on Monday Cervi recorded no stats in Monday's 1-0 victory over Getafe.

Impact Cervi did not feature in the game. He has recorded only a single appearance this season, coming off the bench against Las Palmas in early October.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Assist off bench Cervi assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 2-1 defeat to Betis.

Impact Finally, Cervi has an assist across Celta Vigo's 2023-24 season. It has not been like his 2022-23 campaign, when he recorded four assists, half of them as a substitute. At the very least, now that Cervi is healthy, he is expected to get regular opportunities to improve his output.

APRIL 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets green light for weekend Cervi (hamstring) will be an option for Sunday's match against Girona after receiving the green light from the medical staff.

Impact Cervi has recovered from a torn hamstring muscle and will be an option for the squad again after missing the last two matches. He had previously started three of the four games played, where he will see competition with Luca de la Torre for playing time in the midfield.

JANUARY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tears hamstring muscle Cervi tore a muscle in his hamstring and is set to remain out for the time being.

Impact Cervi is set to miss the next few matches with a hamstring injury. He had started just three of the last seven games played, totaling 13 tackles and nine crosses (zero accurate) in that span. This means that Luca de la Torre will see more playing time in the midfield during Cervi's absence.

JANUARY 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains on bench Cervi was left on the bench for a second match in a row during Friday's loss to Girona.

Impact Cervi got back on the bench Friday, his second match in a row without a run out. Realistically the midfielder probably isn't quite fit yet, keeping him on the bench. When available Cervi started two of the first three matches in La Liga.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makes the squad on Friday Cervi (thigh) is on the bench for Friday's match against Girona.

Impact Cervi is finally back in the squad after being listed on the bench on Friday. He previously has sat the last seven matches with the injury but will be happy to finally be back with the team on matchday. He could start to get starting nods in the future but will have to hold a bench spot for the time being after a long absence.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Called up Friday Cervi (thigh) was named to the traveling squad versus Girona on Friday.

Impact Cervi has been in the squad just twice over the club's last seven contests but has yet to get back onto the pitch. At this point, even once the midfielder is given the all-clear, he figures to be hard-pressed to secure regular minutes, much less a spot in the starting XI.

OCTOBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not an option on Saturday Cervi (thigh) is out for Saturday's matchup against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Cervi will be missing another match after being left out of the team sheet for Saturday's match. He has now missed the past six games and will eye a return next week after making the squad list for this match.

OCTOBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makes squad for Saturday Cervi (thigh) is in the squad for Saturday's match against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Cervi suffered a ruptured thigh tendon in late August, but he's finally able to return to action after a prolonged recovery, and be could be an option off the bench against Los Colchoneros.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set for 5-6 week absence Cervi is expected to miss 5-6 weeks after suffering a ruptured thigh tendon, the team announced Tuesday.

Impact The term rupture is never followed by good news when it comes to injuries but the upcoming international break will help minimize the number of matches the midfielder should be expected to miss. In fact, based on the timeline provided by the club, Cervi likely won't be back until after the October international break, though that hasn't been officially announced by the club. With Cervi on the shelf, Manu Sanchez figures to serve as the left-back option.

AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Forced off Cervi was forced off with an apparent injury during the first half of Friday's clash with Real Madrid.

Impact Cervi lasted 45 minutes before being forced off. The nature of the injury was unclear but Cervi appeared to stay down after a tackle before being helped off the pitch. Manu Sanchez came on to replace Cervi and could see a role in the starting XI if the injury holds Cervi out for a Sept. 1 trip to Almeria.

AUGUST 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mostly bench option in 2023 Cervi recorded four assists in 36 La Liga appearances (21 starts) this season for Celta, though only five of those starts came after the end of January.

Impact Cervi was a regular starter either in midfield or on the left wing during the first half of the campaign, but the 29-year-old found himself relegated to the bench more often than not once Luca de la Torre established himself in the XI in late January. Cervi has one year left on his contract heading into the summer, and he'll aim to win back his starting spot if he remains in Vigo for next season.

JUNE 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sends in six crosses versus Getafe Cervi had one shot on goal, created two chances, sent in six crosses (three accurate), made two interceptions and drew three fouls during Wednesday's 1-0 loss against Getafe.

Impact Cervi made his second consecutive start and, although not brilliant, was one of the few players from his side able to generate something on the attacking end. After a slow start of campaign and a long period as a substitute, the playmaker will hope to keep getting significant playing time during the final stretch of the season.
