The celeste delegation will head to Germany with two positive pieces of news. Iago Aspas and Matías Vecino have received medical clearance and are included in the squad for the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals, scheduled for this Thursday against SC Freiburg.

Aspas has already left behind a mild tendinopathy in the left Achilles tendon, a problem that prevented him from participating in the last league match. In Vecinos case, the midfielder is returning after overcoming a muscle fiber tear in the left soleus, an injury that occurred three weeks ago in Lyon.

1.920.000€-10.000€ 6

However, the injury list remains heavy. Celta will not be able to count on Hugo Álvarez for approximately two weeks, who suffers from a grade II sprain in the left ankle following a fortuitous action with Unai Núñez in the recent match against Valencia CF.

Starfelt
1.460.000€-150.000€ 4

Additionally, Carl Starfelt remains out due to low back pain that already left him without minutes in the last game. Added to those absences are Miguel Román, also injured, and Javi Rueda, suspended due to accumulation of bookings.

Thus, the team faces the European match with important reinforcements in attack and midfield, although conditioned by several significant absences in defense and rotation.
