Celta Vigo's European debut this season has been eventful, but the most significant news concerns the confirmed injury to Iago Aspas, who will miss approximately one month.

According to an official statement from the club, an MRI scan performed by the team physician revealed a first-degree tear of Aspas's left thigh muscle. On Tuesday, Iago began recovery treatment under the club's medical supervision and will miss at least the next three matches: the Europa League debut against Omonia Nicosia and two La Liga fixtures against Racing Santander and Elche, with the latter scheduled for October 11 after the international break (CEST).

The Galician striker suffered the injury late in Sunday's match against Málaga when he felt discomfort in his leg after kicking the ball.

Feebas passes medical

The good news is that Celta Vigo also announced that Feebas has passed his medical examination and is ready to play for Claudio Giráldez's side against Cyprus.

The Catalan midfielder is one of Celta Vigo's new signings this summer and has been training normally with his teammates at Afouteza Sports City. Feebas suffered bruised ribs after a collision with Unai Simón in the match against Athletic Bilbao and subsequently missed fixtures against Real Sociedad, Getafe, and Málaga.

More good news is the return of Abdurrrahim and Borja Iglesias, whose absence has contributed to the team's goal-scoring problems.

The Spanish international missed the latest La Liga match against Málaga due to a recurring left soleus muscle issue, having previously suffered a groin muscle injury. The Moroccan winger missed the Málaga fixture due to physical discomfort.

Rotations expected for key players

Given the importance of Saturday's match against Racing Santander in La Liga matchday seven, Celta Vigo's coach will make significant rotations, starting with goalkeeper, where Turkish keeper Bayındır will make his first appearance.

Hawí Rodríguez, who has been a substitute for three consecutive matches, and Swedish center-back Starfeldt are expected to feature in defense. Sebastián Cáceres may remain in the lineup to accelerate his adaptation to the system.

Álvaro Núñez and Hawí Galán have a good chance of playing on the wings, while Hugo Buerkhardt, a promising young talent, could pair with Feebas in midfield if Giráldez decides to bring back the former Elche player early. Otherwise, Moriba will continue in the double pivot role.
