Williot Swedberg - Left out of squad list Swedberg (ankle) is not an option for Friday's match against Almeria after missing out on the squad list.

Impact Swegburg will miss the club's upcoming match after suffering an ankle injury in training this week, returning to the injury list just two contests after getting off it. Luckily for the club, this will have a minimal impact, as he is yet to start a single match this season, only appearing 10 times all campaign. The attacker is only dealing with a sprain, so there is a decent chance he gets on the team sheet next week to face Real Madrid on Sunday, although that will come down to how he trains over the next week.

Miguel Rodriguez - 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.

FEBRUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Mihailo Ristic - Working individually Ristic (bicep) has started to train individually again Thursday, the club announced.

Impact Ristic is beginning his road to recovery following a torn bicep he picked up just over a week ago. This is wonderful news for the club, as the defender seems to be ahead of his recovery schedule already after not being expected to return until late April. At this rate, the defender could return sometime in March despite the somewhat serious injury. Although, he will have to make the jump to group training before even thinking about that.

FEBRUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Renato Tapia - Out three weeks Tapia is expected to miss three weeks after suffering a grade 1 thigh tear, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Tapia was forced off in the 57th minute versus Cadiz on Sunday while making his 12th consecutive appearance for the club. In those outings, the midfielder recorded 15 shots (zero on target), six crosses (one accurate) and 38 clearances. Hugo Sotelo could be in line for his first start since early November with Tapia on the shelf.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Luca De la Torre - Provides assis in draw de la Torre assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Cadiz.

Impact de la Torre notched his fourth assist of the season in the 11th minute of the match. Despite his early assist, the midfielder was not heavily involved as he didn't take a shot or deliver a cross in the match.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Manuel Sanchez - Provides assist in draw Manu Sanchez assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Cadiz.

Impact Sanchez notched his fourth assist of the season in the 58th minute of the match as he helped extend the lead. The left-back appeared in the starting XI for the first time in the past four games, as he played all 90 minutes.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Vicente Guaita - Concedes twice in draw Guaita made four saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Cadiz.

Impact Guaita was beaten twice in the second half, including a goal that equalized the contest in the 100th minute of the match. After not allowing more than one goal in five straight games, the goalkeeper has now allowed seven goals over the past three games. Next, he'll face off against Almeria, a team with 25 goals in 26 games.

Williot Swedberg - Picks up ankle sprain Swedberg is in question for Friday's match against Almeria after the club confirmed he is dealing with an ankle sprain.

Impact Swedberg has still yet to undergo further testing on his ankle issues, so it is still difficult to determine how serious the injury is and if he will be an option for Friday's match or not. This is an unfortunate blow for the attacker, as he scored in Sunday's match against Cadiz before picking up the injury, but it shouldn't affect the club too much, as he is yet to start a game this season. However, they will still look for the best possible outcome to keep the depth on the bench, hoping that his further testing only reveals minor issues and he is an option once again against Almeria.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Carlos Dotor Gonzalez - Will undergo surgery Dotor (pelvis) will undergo surgery due to his sports hernia, the club announced Monday.

Impact Dotor is receiving the worst possible outcome after picking up a sports hernia, now being set for surgery after missing the club's past four matches due to the issue. This could mean the midfielder will not return this season, as a recovery period for this type of injury usually takes around three months for a return to action. However, if all goes to plan, he could return for the last couple of contests of the season. Luckily for the club, he has only started seven times in his 16 appearances, so his absence shouldn't have too much of an effect on the team, as they will only be down a little depth in the midfield.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Iago Aspas - Banned for accumulation Aspas picked up his fifth yellow of the season and will be suspended against Almeria on Friday.

Impact Aspas started six of the club's last eight contests while being an unused substitute once. During that stretch, the forward racked up four goals on 12 shots (four on target), one assist, 25 crosses (11 accurate) and 18 corners. Without Aspas in the squad, Oscar Mingueza could be in line for corner-taking duties versus Almeria.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Jonathan Bamba - Back with the team Bamba (AFCON) is a bench option for Sunday's game against Cadiz.

Impact Bamba resumes being available after sitting out multiple fixtures while participating in AFCON with the Ivory Coast. He won't get the start right away despite his usual role. He has posted two goals, one assist, 31 shots (14 on target) and 40 crosses (11 accurate) in 18 showings.

Javi Manquillo - Makes XI for Cadiz game Manquillo (hamstring) is starting in Sunday's match versus Cadiz.

Impact Manquillo is making his third start of the season despite missing the previous game with an injury. He has logged five tackles, five clearances and one block in his two previous appearances.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Javi Manquillo - Set for return Manquillo (hamstring) is available for Sunday's match against Cadiz, according to the club.

Impact Manquillo is set for a return to play Sunday after missing the club's last match due to a hamstring issue. The defender will now look to avoid the injury bug for the rest of the season, as he already dealt with a long-term groin injury that held him out until February, only playing two matches all season. There is a solid chance the player could get the start against Celta, as he started in his two appearances this season, but the club may want to take his return cautiously and preserve him until later on in the game, with Oscar Mingueza getting the start at right-back instead.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Carlos Dominguez - Fit for Cadiz match Dominguez (hamstring) is an option for Sunday's match against Cadiz, the club announced Friday.

Impact Dominguez looked to be in question for Sunday's contest at the start of the week after going with discomfort in his hamstring, but after a couple of days of recovery, he is ready to take the field again and will avoid any time on the sidelines. The defender should now be expected to get the start against Cadiz, as he has started in their past seven contests. However, he hopes to keep that spot moving forward, as he primarily went unused in the first half of the season, only earning three starts in their first 16 contests while going unused in the other 13 games.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Williot Swedberg - Comes off bench Swedberg had one clearance in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Barcelona.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Carlos Dotor Gonzalez - Could be set for surgery Dotor will likely need surgery on his pelvis and is set to remain out for Celta Vigo for the time being, per Oscar Mendez and Rodra P of Relevo.

Impact Dotor has missed the last two matches with a pelvis injury as surgery could be an option for the midfielder. He had started just seven times in 16 appearances with the side, logging in 14 tackles (seven won) and nine crosses (one won). Even if healthy, Dotor has only been a depth option during his first campaign with Celta Vigo.
