Pablo Duran - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Back on bench Duran (shoulder) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Valencia.

Impact Duran missed the entirety of preseason after undergoing surgery for a ligament injury in his left shoulder suffered in May, but his inclusion among the substitutes signals he has cleared the recovery process in time for the start of the season. He is not expected to be a guaranteed starter given Celta Vigo's tendency to rotate the front line, though a route back into regular minutes looks realistic if he shows sharpness in his opportunities off the bench.

Available for season debut Duran (shoulder) is in the squad for Saturday's match against Valencia.

Impact Duran spent most of the preseason recovering from the shoulder injury that he sustained in May, but he's been deemed ready to play Sunday and has been added to the squad. He's expected to be an option off the bench, however, and that should limit his fantasy appeal for the time being.

Impact Duran underwent surgery for a left shoulder instability issue after suffering the injury during a game earlier this year, closing the book on a season in which he contributed five goals and two assists across 39 appearances in all competitions. His three months recovery timeline puts his availability for the start of the 2026/27 season in some doubt, and Celta will continue to monitor his progress through individual work as preseason gets underway.

Shoulder surgery successful Duran has undergone successful surgery on his left shoulder at the Fremap Hospital in Vigo, according to the club.

Impact Duran had suffered a ligament injury in his left shoulder during a match earlier in the season, and the surgical intervention confirms he will not return to action before the campaign concludes. The Celta forward ends the season with five goals, two assists, 47 shots and 13 chances created across 39 appearances (21 starts) in all competitions, having been a productive contributor throughout the campaign before the shoulder issue required surgical attention. The club will now focus on his rehabilitation ahead of the 2026/27 season.

Signs extension Duran has extended with Celta Vigo, according to his club.

Impact Duran is sticking around Celta for the next few seasons, inking an extension until summer 2028. This comes as he continues in more of a rotational role with the club, starting in 13 of his 23 appearances while notching two goals and two assists. At age 24, he still has time to grow his role, something he will look to do during his extension.

That said, he is still likely to slide back into the bench role he has mostly held this season under coach Claudio Giraldez.
