Borja Iglesias will have to delay his return to competition after a muscle injury in his left leg was confirmed. The forward is ruled out of the postponed match against Osasuna and must now focus on completing his recovery.

DLThe medical report places the setback in the left soleus, where the attacker suffers a myofascial tear of the left soleus. The initial estimate points to about two weeks on the sidelines, a timeframe that rules out his presence in the clash that the Celta will play against Osasuna on Thursday 27 at Balaidos.
A tune-up cut short
The problem comes at the exact moment when Borja Iglesias was moving forward in his preparations to rejoin the team's plans. The Santiago-born forward had returned to training later than usual after playing the World Cup with the Spanish national team, and he still had not featured in this league start.
He did not play in Celta's season opener and he also did not get minutes against Valencia, although his progress suggested he could make a comeback against Osasuna. That option has been ruled out following the diagnosis released on August 25.
The next step will be to complete the recovery process before returning to the group. If the period set by the medical services is met, his return could come after the international break, always depending on how the injury develops and how he feels during his rehabilitation.
