Impact Swedberg will be forced to bow out for Sunday's match after picking up an injury in training this week. It appears to be more of a cautious move with three games coming up in the next week, ensuring he is fit for the majority of those games instead of forcing him out while dealing with pain.

However, this shouldn't come as a surprise, with the attacker only seeing 10 appearances with zero starts, going unused on 14 different occasions this campaign.

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.

FEBRUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

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.

The club will be happy to gain another option, but his addition back into the team won't change much, as the attacker has only appeared right times all season, all of which were off the bench. He will now most likely get a run on the bench against Barcelona, looking to get a couple minutes on the filed late into the contest to test his legs.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Sustains calf injury Swedberg suffered a grade 1 tear of the right calf, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Swedberg should be expected to miss 1-2 weeks given the level of his calf injury. As such, a Feb. 17 clash with Barcelona figures to be the forward's next opportunity to play.

Impact Swedberg was the unsung hero for Celta in this tight match, as his late header in the 87th minute was why Celta clinched the three points in an intense, back-and-forth match. This was Swedberg's first goal of the season, though considering he's yet to play more than 20 minutes in any of his three bench outings so far, his fantasy upside should remain limited in the near future unless he can secure a starting role.

Impact Swedberg was a depth option in attacking midfield this season after joining Celta from Swedish side Hammarby last summer. The 19-year-old will just want to continue growing into his role at the club heading into the next campaign.

JUNE 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with Celta Vigo Swedberg signed a five-year contract with Celta Vigo from Swedish club Hammarby.

Impact Swedberg makes the move to a big club after seeing a decent bit of run at Hammarby as a teenager. It's unlikely he'll crack the senior squad in his first season unless he makes an immediate mark. The positive for him is that Celta don't have a deep team, so there could be minutes available in the attack.
