Williot Swedberg - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

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 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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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. The attacking midfielder had a recent role for his team last season prior to his injuries but will now need to compete for a starting role with the recent summer additions in the frontline.

SEPTEMBER 23 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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).

MAY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Scores off bench Swedberg scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-2 loss versus Real Madrid.

Impact Swedberg made his first appearance since April 23, playing 25 minutes while scoring a goal. Since returning from injury, the midfielder had started just once in four games, collecting three tackles with three shots (two on target).

Fit Saturday Swedberg (leg) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Mallorca.

Impact Swedberg was back on the squad list Friday, so it is no surprise to see the attacker back on the team sheet Saturday. He should see time to test his legs before possibly seeing a start, starting in his last three appearances before the injury.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Option once again Swedberg (leg) has made the squad list and is an option for Saturday's match against Mallorca, according to Rafa Valero of Marca.

Impact Swedberg looks to finally be back from his injury after three games out, as the attacker is traveling with the team for Saturday's match. However, he will not be seeing minutes from the start, as he is not expected to start and will likely only appear later in the match. This still is positive news, as he is a regular starter when fit and should see that spot back soon.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Not available Monday Swedberg (hamstring) is ruled out for Monday's clash with Las Palmas, coach Claudio Giraldez said in the press conference.

Impact Swedberg will miss a third consecutive game due to a leg injury as he has not fully recovered. Alfonso Gonzalez is expected to start in the frontline until Swedberg returns. His next opportunity to feature in the squad will be against Mallorca on Saturday.

MARCH 31 • ROTOWIRE

Trains, late call for Monday Swedberg (hamstring) has returned to training but is still doubtful for Monday's match against Las Palmas, according to Rafa Calero of Marca.

Impact Swedberg looks to be seeing decent progression in his return to the field after an injury around a month ago, as he was back in training working individually over the break. However, he is still doubtful for Monday, much more likely to face Mallorca on April 5. That said, he will be a late call for Monday, more than likely left out.
