Celta Vigo manager Claudio Giráldez faces a selection headache for the match against Alavés. The game at Balaídos comes at a time when the squad is stretched.
Key Players Rested and Ruled Out
Marcos Alonso and Starfelt, who are usually mainstays in the team, will be rested. They are being preserved due to arriving at the match carrying knocks. Ilaix Moriba is unavailable due to suspension, and he is also suffering from some discomfort.
Matías Vecino and Miguel Román are also out of contention due to injury.
Giráldez Calls Up Replacements
Franco Cervi is back in the squad. Yoel Lago has also been called up, and Andrés Antañón from the youth team remains with the squad.
Expected Rotation in the Starting XI
There is likely to be significant rotation in the starting eleven compared to the Europa League match. Borja Iglesias and Óscar Mingueza are in line to feature, having missed the previous game through suspension. Álvaro Núñez, Aidoo, Ristic, Hugo Sotelo and Jutglà could also be included in the starting lineup.
Giráldez has named a 24-man squad for the match.
