4 return as Celta Vigo name squad to face Espanyol

La Liga outfit Celta Vigo have unveiled their matchday squad for the club’s upcoming meeting with Espanyol.

And it features several noteworthy returns.

This comes amid confirmation that, after missing out in midweek against Ludogorets, all of Javi Rueda, Joseph Aidoo, Fran Beltrán and Carlos Domínguez are back in the fray to face Espanyol.

Dropping out, meanwhile, are the quartet of Yoel Lago, Manu Fernández, Damián, and Franco Cervi.

Celta Vigo will welcome Espanyol to Balaídos on Sunday with sights on a bounce-back result. After rattling off six wins from seven across all competitions, the Galician outfit were brought back down to earth by way of a hard-fought 3-2 defeat at Ludogorets on Thursday.

Manager Claudio Giráldez is for his part expected to ring the changes for the fixture, rotating almost his entire XI for the return to domestic action.

Celta currently sit 11th in the La Liga table, five points adrift of their upcoming opponents.
