Regular starter Aidoo has started in all six matches to open the season, keeping two clean sheets and logging eight tackles.

Impact Aidoo and defensive partner Unai Nunez have formed a reliable duo at the back for an increasingly strong team. With most of the production coming from Iago Aspas in the attack, Aidoo mostly needs to keep things close, but that hasn't happened with seven goals conceded over his last two starts which ended as losses to Atletico Madrid and Valencia.

Fit for season Aidoo made the starting lineup for Saturday's friendly against Al Shabab.

Impact Aidoo had dealt with an ankle knock earlier in the preseason and with his recovery confirmed, he'll be ready to go for the coming campaign. With 30 starts from 32 appearances, Aidoo racked up his highest minutes total in three years during last season and he'll look to repeat the feat this time around.

Dealing with ankle injury Aidoo began the preseason training individually as he works his way back to fitness from a sprained ankle, Celta Vigo announced Tuesday.

Impact Aidoo suffered this ankle injury while in training with the Ghana National Team back in June, and he's still not quite fully fit yet. He has more than a month to continue his recovery before the actual La Liga season begins.

Makes seven clearances in loss Aidoo made seven clearances and an interception in last weekend's 2-0 defeat against Valencia. He also won one of one tackles in the match.

Solid performance in win Aidoo made two tackles (one won) and four clearances while helping his side to keep a clean sheet during Sunday's 1-0 win over Elche.

Impact Aidoo didn't shine as his partner Nestor Araujo did but still put up a very solid performance, making the correct play all times he was called into action and being one of the main reasons why his side was able to shut the opposition down for the second time over the last three matches. Having started each of the last 25 league contests for Celta, Aidoo should be considered locked up in the starting XI for next Sunday's season finale against Valencia.

Own goal in win Aidoo scored an own goal during Sunday's 4-3 win over Mallorca.

Impact Aidoo scored an own goal right at the start of the second half of Sunday's win, and despite his own goal, he still came out on top. The central defender isn't likely to fall out of the starting XI any time soon, and is a major part of the first team. Aidoo will be marshaling the defense against Villarreal.

Stays in starting XI Aidoo (thigh) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Vallecano.

Impact As expected, Aidoo is in the starting XI Saturday following the international break. The defender exited with a knock in the prior contest, but he's back in his usual central role against Vallecano. He has 14 league starts this season, supplying three clean sheets.

Returns to training Aidoo (thigh) returned to training with Celta on Tuesday.

Comes off injured against Sevilla Aidoo was subbed out in the 65th minute of Saturday's draw against Sevilla after suffering a thigh injury.

Impact Aidoo is still undergoing tests to figure out the severity of his injury, but he will have an extended recovery time due to the international break before Celta's next La Liga game against Rayo on Feb. 5. Jeison Murillo could fill in for him in central defense if necessary.

Makes six clearances in win Aidoo made three tackles (all won), six clearances and one inteception while helping his side to keep a clean sheet during Sunday's 2-0 win over Betis.

Impact Aidoo was one of the biggest reasons why his side was able to shut the opposition down, with season highs in both tackles and clearances. The centre back racked up 15 clearances and two clean sheets over his last three starts and will try to remain productive during Saturday's visit to Real Sociedad.

JANUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Late scratch Sunday Aidoo was a late scratch from Sunday's match against Barcelona due to an injury suffered in warmups. Carlos Dominguez took his place in the starting lineup.

Impact Aidoo will hope that this move was only precautionary as there's only one more chance left to play this season. Carlos Dominguez gets another start in the absence of a more senior defense option for La Celeste.

MAY 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Makes 13 clearances in win Aidoo had two off-target shots, won one tackle, made 13 clearances and three interceptions and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during Wednesday's 1-0 win over Getafe.

Impact Aidoo was back in the starting XI after coming off the bench on the previous match. And the centre back responded with a huge performance, leading all players with a season-high 13 clearances and being a major reason why his side was able to shut the opposition down. Aidoo is always productive when he gets playing time, racking up 31 clearances over his last five starts. Up next for him is Sunday's visit to Lionel Messi and Barcelona.
