Assists late insurance goal Swedberg had an assist with his lone chance created while taking an off target shot during Sunday's 2-0 win over Mallorca.

Impact Swedberg entered the match in the 44th minute and set up Iago Aspas for Celta's second goal in the 95th. The assist was the first of the season for Swedberg and his first goal involvement in the league since December 14th as he's combined for four shots, two chances created and two crosses in his last three La Liga appearances.

No longer suspended Swedberg is available for future action after clearing his Europa League suspension in Thursday's clash with Red Star Belgrade.

Impact Swedberg will aim to bounce back to the starting lineup in either Hugo Alvarez's or Iago Aspas' place going forward. During the 2025/26 season, Swedberg has scored five goals and one assist over 18 appearances between league and UEL competitions, but he has failed to rack up consistent numbers around the pitch, and has scored only once during his last six games played.

Suspended for UEL play Swedberg is suspended for a Europa League match.

Impact Swedberg is not an option for the club's final league stage match in UEL play, with the attacker suspended due to yellow card accumulation. He will only miss the one match and return as they enter the round of 16, starting in three of his four appearances in the competition while recording two goals and one assist.

Fit for bench Swedberg (undisclosed) is on the bench for Monday's match against Sevilla.

Impact Swedberg is back in the team sheet Monday, as the attacker has been cleared for play and is a bench option. He has started in six of his 11 appearances this season between injuries, now hoping to remain fit and work back towards some starting time.

Impact Swedberg will be an option for Monday's clash, although it's unclear if he'll start right away given how good Pablo Duran looked the last time out. Swedberg has three goals across 11 appearances (six starts) this season.

Scores against Athletic Club Swedberg scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Athletic.

Impact Swedberg gave his team the lead via close-range header in the 48th minute of the win. Other than that, the attacker drew two fouls and missed one chance during his longest appearance since returning from an ankle injury in late November. His three goals and one assist over the last three official games have been a differential factor for his team to obtain a pair of unlikely victories. Such run of form makes him the top choice in attacking midfield while Pablo Duran (shoulder) is out.

Brace leads to win Swedberg scored two goals to go with three shots (three on goal) in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Real Madrid.

Impact Swedberg was the one of the two heros of Sunday's match, with a 53rd minute goal and a goal in extra time earning him a brace, and his club a win. This all comes after only 45 minutes off the bench, still trying to find his way back into the team after a long absence. He is now up to three goals in 10 appearances this season, hopefully earning him more time moving forward.

Option from bench Swedberg (ankle) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Espaynol.

Impact Swedberg was not in the club's midweek match despite his clearance for play, but is with the club Sunday, appearing in a bench role. He has only started in four of his 10 appearances this campaign, likely needing to build up minutes after the long absence.

Not playing in Europa League Swedberg (ankle) is not in the squad for Thursday's Europa League match against Ludogorets.

Impact Swedberg has medical clearance to play, but he won't feature in this contest. His next chance to return will come against Espanyol in LaLiga over the weekend.

Cleared be medical Swedberg (ankle) has been cleared by his medical team for play, according to his club.

Impact Swedberg has not played in over a month due to his ankle injury, but appears to be in for his return this week, with the attacker cleared for play. He started in four of his eight appearances before the injury, more of a rotational option. With a midweek match agaisnt Ludogorets and facing Espanyol on Sunday, he will have two chances to return this week, more than likely to make an appearance.

Won't play vs. Alaves Swedberg (ankle) won't be an option for Saturday's game against Alaves, manager Claudio Giraldez told media during Friday's pre-match press conference. "Swedberg is training with t...

Impact Giraldez revealed that the Swede suffered a setback in his recovery in recent days, and while he's trending in the right direction, this game against Alaves will come too soon for him. He seems to be inching closer to a return, though, and Celta have upcoming matches against Ludogorets and Espanyol before the end of the month.

NOVEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Diagnosed with left ankle sprain Swedberg has been diagnosed with a left ankle sprain and will be out for the time being, his club announced Thursday.

Impact Swedberg suffered the injury during international duty with Sweden, and now he'll be forced to miss time with his club as a result. His return to action will depend on the recovery process, though ankle injuries usually translate into at least a couple of weeks out -- even in a best-case scenario.

OCTOBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers ankle injury Swedberg was forced off in the 22nd minute of Tuesday's 6-0 defeat against Poland U21 due to an apparent ankle injury, according to Talangkollen.

Impact Swedberg suffered an apparent ankle injury in Tuesday's clash against Poland U21 and was forced off in the 22nd minute. The winger will be assessed once back in Spain but a potential absence would be a big blow for Celta Vigo as he started the last two games across all competitions and was growing his role in the frontline. If he is sidelined for some time, Bryan Zaragoza will likely see an increased role in the attack for the Celeste.

OCTOBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays off bench Swedberg came off the bench for the final 30 minutes of Thursday's 2-1 loss to Stuttgart.

Impact Swedberg was in doubt for Thursday's clash due to an ankle issue, but he was included in the traveling squad and played 30 minutes off the bench. The midfielder was moving well during his 30 minutes, but couldn't find any space to work against Stuttgart. Swedberg should rotate in and out of the squad moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available against Stuttgart Swedberg (ankle) is back available for Thursday's clash against Stuttgart, the club announced.

Impact Swedberg has fully recovered from his ankle injury and is back available for Celta Vigo after receiving the medical clearance.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out again with ankle injury Swedberg suffered an ankle injury and is sidelined again for the time being, the club announced.

Impact Swedberg suffered an ankle injury this week in training and will be out for the time being to recover. The forward has been dealing with injuries since last season, which has prevented him from securing a regular starting role, as he started two of his four appearances in La Liga this season. He remained on the bench in the last game against Girona.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting to begin season Swedberg (thigh) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Getafe.

Impact Swedberg is fit enough to immediately claim a spot in the starting XI after dealing with a thigh issue, returning for their season opener. He saw a rotational role with 15 starts in 32 appearances last season and will look to elevate his role this campaign, coming just short of double-digit goal contributions last season with nine.

AUGUST 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fit for play Swedberg (thigh) has been discharged from the hospital and appears to be an option again, according to his club.

Impact Swedberg has been out for a few days, but was expected to return to training soon, with that coming to fruition after the attacker was discharged from the hospital. That said, he should start to train normally again and is likely an option for their season opener against Getafe on Aug. 17. He is set to see a starting role, so this is good news, probable to be a regular sight on the left flank of the attack.

AUGUST 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Inks contract extension Swedberg has signed a contract extension until 2029 with Celta Vigo, the club announced.

Impact Swedberg played 32 LaLiga matches last season, including 15 starts, and recorded four goals and five assists. He provided the decisive assist to Iago Aspas against Getafe that secured Celta Vigo's return to the Europa League after eight years. Swedberg has been with the club since the summer of 2022 and continues to grow as an important piece in the attack. The forward is expected to be back in team training this week after suffering a minor thigh strain.

AUGUST 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Should resume training this week Swedberg underwent an MRI on Tuesday morning that ruled out a hamstring injury and confirmed he is dealing with a minor thigh strain, with a return to team training expected this w...

Impact Swedberg was forced off in the pre-season friendly against Vitoria on Friday and underwent an MRI that ruled out the expected hamstring injury, confirming the forward is only dealing with a minor thigh strain and will be able to return to team training this week. This is good news for Celta Vigo, as Swedberg will likely have a role to play in the rotation heading into 2025/26 with European competitions back for the Celeste.

AUGUST 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers hamstring injury Swedberg has suffered a hamstring injury in Friday's pre-season friendly against Vitoria, according to Mundo Celeste.

Impact Swedberg suffered a hamstring injury in Friday's friendly against Vitoria and was absent from Tuesday's training session as he continues his recovery. His timeline for return remains uncertain, but if the forward is unavailable for upcoming fixtures, captain Iago Aspas will likely see increased playing time with Celta Vigo.

AUGUST 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nine goal contributions on the year Swedberg appeared in 32 matches, with 15 starts for Celta Vigo during the 2024 season.

Impact Swedberg took a significant step forward, compared to his first two seasons with the club where he accumulated a combined total of 19 appearances and four starts. Even though he had five goals in just 15 appearances last season and finished with four goals in 32 appearances this season, he made a much more significant contribution across the board in 2024, including five assists and 16 tackles won. The well-rounded approach he showed this year signified that given the right amount of opportunity, he can be a highly valuable contributor.

JUNE 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Active despite not scoring Swedberg generated four shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Swedberg didn't find the back of the net in this one, but there's a strong argument to say he was Celta's best and most consistent player in this defeat. He can post solid peripheral stats from time to time, but Swedberg needs to get on the scoresheet more often to have more fantasy value. He has only one goal and one assist over his last 10 league appearances (six starts).
