Makes three tackles in loss Mingueza made three tackles (two won) and logged two inaccurate crosses during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Osasuna.

Impact Mingueza didn't have a great start to life at Celta but he's shown signs of improvement with three starts in his last four appearances, logging eight crosses and making nine tackles in that time.

Transfers to Celta Mingueza has signed a four-year contract with Celta Vigo after transferring from Barcelona, the club announced Saturday.

Impact Mingueza had a breakout 2020/21 campaign in which he kept nine clean sheets in a combined 32 appearances (26 starts) across La Liga and the Champions League, but he saw significantly less playing time last season for Barcelona with the arrivals of Dani Alves and Eric Garcia in defense. The 23-year-old is now moving to Celta Vigo, where he will compete with Unai Nunez for a starting spot in central defense and can also provide depth for Javi Galan at right-back.

Subs on in season finale Mingueza subbed into Sunday's match against Villarreal in the 81st minute and he won one of one tackles in the 2-0 defeat.

Impact Mingueza featured more as a right back this season than in central defense, but the return of Dani Alves in January mitigated his playing time behind Sergino Dest as well. The 22-year-old finished the campaign with two clean sheets and an assist in 19 La Liga appearances (nine starts), but he is a useful and versatile backup option heading into next season.

MAY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tests positive for COVID-19 Mingueza has tested positive for COVID-19, Barcelona announced Thursday.

Starts, records assist Mingueza logged one assist across 76 minutes during a 1-0 win Sunday at Mallorca.

Impact Mingueza logged his second start from new Barcelona team manager Xavi and first assist of the 2021-22 La Liga. The defender will try to receive game minutes more consistently during 2022. However, Ronald Araujo is Xavi's preferred right-back right now.

Wins three tackles against Bayern Mingueza won three-of-three tackles in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Bayern Munich.

Impact Mingueza came off the bench for the injured Jordi Alba and put in a solid shift but it wasn't enough to counter the mismatch in team talent. With two appearances off the bench in his last four matches, Mingueza has seemingly fallen behind Sergino Dest in the depth chart. Even center-back Ronald Araujo started over him in Wednesday's game, which is why his only available place was out of position on the left side when Alba needed to come out. Up next is a trip to Osasuna.

Available as substitute Mingueza (undisclosed) will be an option off the bench versus Benfica on Tuesday.

Impact Mingueza has started five of his last six outings but will have to settle for a bench role Tuesday. Still, with his undisclosed injury seemingly behind him, the defender should be in the mix to reclaim the right-back spot against Villarreal on Saturday where he figures to have top-half fantasy value given his ability to generate crosses.

NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Available as expected Mingueza (undisclosed) is available for Tuesday's Champions League clash with Benfica.

Impact Mingueza is in the initial squad list Tuesday as expected, after picking up a knock against Espanyol. The full-back is unlikely to start, though if Sergino Dest fails to make the starting XI he likely would fill-in at right-back.

Non-serious injury in win Mingueza came off the pitch after 88 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 win over Espanyol, with a non-serious injury.

NOVEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 10 crosses in win Mingueza created three chances from 10 crosses (two accurate) during Tuesday's 1-0 win over Dynamo Kiev.

Impact Mingueza logged his best match of the season with a clean sheet and a single-game high for crosses. Should Sergi Roberto remain out, Mingueza would likely get another chance to play in the coming trip to Celta Vigo. His value will be highest if he can rack up another full 90 after not making it past the 80th minute in his previous three starts.

NOVEMBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Creates three chances in start Mingueza created three chances and sent in five crosses (one accurate) during Sunday's 3-0 win over Levante.

Impact Mingueza has been something of a revelation at right-back, the defender has started the last two matches and has been excellent in both. He gets forward well and creates chances well (four in his last two starts) as well as tracking back for defensive volume. Mingueza will have his toughest match Wednesday, away to Benfica.

Back in training Mingueza (hamstring) participated in Monday's training session, according to Javi Miguel of AS.

Impact Mingueza now has good odds to return by Sunday's match against Getafe with a full week of training ahead of him. Given some of the depth charts concerns at central-defender, Mingueza could slot in one of those spots instead of on the right upon his return.

Could return by end of month Mingueza (hamstring) participated in part of Wednesday's training session, according to Javier Miguel of AS.

Impact Mingueza picked up a hamstring injury during the Olympics and there's a chance he could return by the Aug. 29 match against Getafe, though nothing has been confirmed yet. Should this timeline prove correct, Mingueza would join a defense full of options at center and right-back, meaning his chances to play could initially be limited.

AUGUST 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with muscular injury Mingueza's muscular injury was assessed to be a left hamstring issue, and no timeline was given for his return.

Impact Mingueza picked up a knock and re-injured his hamstring while rushing back during the Olympics, which isn't the smartest move when his club is also in turmoil and now short another star. Should this injury be minor, Mingueza would only miss a couple weeks at the most, which puts Ronald Araujo and Sergino Dest with better odds to play at the beginning of the La Liga season.

Injured in first Olympic match Mingueza was forced off in the 22nd minute of Thursday's match against Egypt with a possible hamstring injury.

Impact It's an unfortunate injury for Mingueza because if it's indeed a hamstring injury, he probably won't appear again in the tournament for Spain. The hope is that he'll be fully recovered for the league season. As for the Olympics, Jesus Vallejo took his spot on the back line against Egypt.

Back for finale Mingueza is listed in the roster for Saturday's season finale at Eibar.

Impact Mingueza was out for Sunday's crucial loss to Celta Vigo as he also managed to lose with Barca B during their push to promotion. He'll now be back with the first team and could start at center-back with Clement Lenglet suspended.

Impact Mingueza has been active in the first team all season with two goals and two assists in 26 league appearances but he's needed elsewhere this weekend. If Ronald Araujo (ankle) is healthy, then Mingueza's absence shouldn't be problematic. Otherwise, Sergino Dest may have to play as a center-back to fill the gap on the right side of the defense.
