On bench Thursday Aspas (undisclosed) was included in the match-day squad to face Rayo Vallecano on Thursday.

Impact Aspas would be making just his second substitute appearance of the season if he gets onto the pitch Thursday. The forward has featured in 12 of his 13 appearances for the club in which he has generated seven goals on 26 shots (14 on target), two assists and 18 crosses (three accurate). Once back to 100 percent, Aspas should reclaim his spot in the starting XI.

Doubt to play Aspas trained on his own during Wednesday's session and will be a doubt for Thursday's match against Rayo Vallecano, according to manager Carlos Carvalhal via Oscar Mendez of Relev...

Impact Aspas would be a major absence both as club captain and as a reliable source of goals for Celta, as he's scored seven times in 13 matches.

Impact Aspas ends the first half of the season with seven goals and two assists in 13 games, joint-second among Spanish forwards ahead of the World Cup. Though he's routinely one of the better strikers in La Liga, he's seldom had much of a chance to play for his national team under manager Luis Enrique. Whether he makes it to Qatar or not, he should have little issue getting to another season with at least 14 goals scored.

Impact Aspas had another very active display, being heavily involved on his side's biggest scoring chances as usual. But the forward will be mostly remembered by not converting a penalty in the closing minutes despite having two attempts because a VAR review showed the goalkeeper stepping off his line before making the first save. After a strong start of campaign, with five goals ove the first four matches, Aspas scored just once over the last six. He'll try to bounce back during Monday's home clash against Getafe.
