Agustin Marchesin - Tears Achilles in training Marchesin has already undergone surgery to repair a torn Achilles he suffered in training on Friday.

Impact Marchesin will miss the rest of this campaign while he recovers from this injury. The 34-year-old kept six clean sheets and allowed 29 goals across 19 matches in his rookie season in La Liga after transferring from Porto last summer. The timing of this injury is very unfortunate for a struggling Celta side that is 16th in the table and can not sign a replacement goalkeeper as the transfer window has just closed. Ivan Villar should take over as the new starter.
