Set to play Sunday Rodriguez (foot) has been discharged and is set to be an option for Sunday's trip to Real Madrid.

Impact Rodriguez has been out of action since Jan 28 after dealing with a foot injury. He is expected to be an option off the bench for the team again after making just one start in 11 appearance, while also making just four starts in 22 games played with the side since 2020.

Held to individual training Rodriguez has started to work individually following the injury to his foot, the club announced ahead of Friday's match against Almeria.

Impact Rodriguez was held out for the club's most recent match against Cadiz due to a foot issue he picked up in training but is starting his rehabilitation process now, having begun to train individually. This is good news for the player but won't affect the club much, as he has only started once all season while appearing 11 times. He still most likely won't appear this week against Almeria, but he will have a decent chance at returning next week against Real Madrid on Sunday if he is upgraded to team training during the week.

Rare start in Copa del Rey Rodriguez got the start and played 87 minutes during Wednesday's 3-1 win over Valencia.

That said he has seen more minutes of late, including going 45 minutes against Mallorca last time out. If Rodriguez can continue to turn in good showings like these last two he could compete for a starting role in the second half of the league season.

Named to squad Tuesday Rodriguez (knee) will be in contention to face SD Compostela in Tuesday's friendly after being named to the full squad.

Impact While there is no guarantee Rodriguez will get onto the pitch, he at least appears to be trending in the right direction and may at least be available for the La Liga season opener versus Osasuna on Aug. 13. Injuries limited the midfielder to just seven appearances last season, including three starts, in which he registered one goal on three shots (two on target), one assist and 13 crosses (three accurate). If he can secure a place in the starting XI, Rodriguez could offer decent offensive upside.

Bright showing to end season Rodriguez featured in seven of Celta's final 11 matches of the campaign, tallying a goal, an assist and three starts during that span.

Assist logged as substitute Rodriguez assisted once to go with two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Athletic.

Impact Rodriguez has his first assist of the 2022-23 La Liga. He was part of Celta Vigo's starting XI when the team hosted Mallorca on April 17. But since then, Rodriguez continues to be a substitute. Ideally for him, his latest log will be a promising indication of the output and opportunities he will have.
