Giraldez drops a player for indiscipline
The absence of Ilaix Moriba from Celta's trip to Italy does not respond to a transfer operation. The midfielder will not travel for the friendlies against Sassuolo and Napoli after a disciplinary decision by the Celeste coaching staff.

The measure, according to Alberto Bravo in Metropolitano, comes after the player arrived late to several training sessions at Afouteza. That situation has led the coaching staff to leave him out of an important appointment during the summer build-up, already in the final stretch of pre-season.

MDMeanwhile, the Celta keeps Moriba as one of the names flagged for a possible major sale this summer. The club's intentions have not changed, although for now no proposals have emerged that convince all the parties involved.
A pre-season with several setbacks
The Guinean midfielder's summer is not being easy. He already missed the first friendly against Braga due to a injury that is not particularly serious, but enough to prevent him from traveling to Portugal. Now he is again being left without minutes in two other pre-season matches, in this case for a matter internal to the club.
In any case, the punishment does not point to him having any further run-ins in the dressing room. Moriba will be available for the league opener against Osasuna, as long as Claudio Giráldez considers it appropriate to include him on the first matchday.
In the meantime, the Celeste coach has more options in midfield. The partnership of Miguel Román and Aleix Febas is leaving good impressions in the middle of the pitch during these weeks of work.
