1 in, 2 out: Celta Vigo injury latest before Barcelona

An update on the fitness situation in the first-team ranks of Celta Vigo has on Friday been provided.

The info comes courtesy of Mundo Deportivo, who point towards mixed news in Claudio Giráldez’s squad ahead of their post-international break return to action.

Celta are primed to lock horns with table-topping Barcelona on Saturday, in a La Liga clash at Balaídos.

The Celeste’s stars were, in turn, put through their final preparatory session in Vigo on Friday afternoon.

And playing a leading role in proceedings was Sergio Carreira.

Defender Carreira has for his part been sidelined since late last month, owing to a sprained ankle suffered in the Copa del Rey against UD San ​​Pedro.

After playing full part in group training earlier today, though, the right-back is expected to be given the medical green light to feature against Barcelona in 24 hours’ time.

Turning attention towards those set to miss out, on the other hand, Luca de la Torre and Jailson Marqués are yet to be cleared for competitive action.
