Good news in Celta training
Claudio Giráldez begins to recover personnel before visiting Getafe. Sebastián Cáceres completed this Saturday his first training session as a Celta player, while Borja Iglesias and Aleix Febas took an important step forward in their respective recoveries by restarting work with the group.
R.C. Celta de Vigo
The session this Saturday at the Cidade Deportiva Afouteza left several positive updates for the Celeste coach. The most eagerly awaited was the presence of Sebastián Cáceres, who finally was able to train alongside his new teammates after completing his move to Celta in the final days of the transfer window.

DFThe Uruguayan international, signed from Club América de México and under contract until June 2030, arrives to strengthen a defense in which Claudio Giráldez was especially looking for a right-sided center-back. Cáceres has extensive experience in Mexico, where he surpassed 200 official matches, and he can play both on the right side of the back line and in more central roles within a three-man defense.
His first session also opens the possibility that he could already be included in the plans for Monday's match against Getafe. His final availability will depend on how he feels in these last training sessions and on Giráldez's decision, but physically he is already working with the rest of the squad.
Borja Iglesias and Febas take a step forward
The other two big developments were Borja Iglesias and Aleix Febas. The medical update issued by Celta this Saturday confirms that both have started training again with the group, although they are still officially listed as injured players.

DLEspecially notable is the progress of Borja Iglesias. The forward suffered a myofascial tear in his left calf on August 25, which has prevented him from taking part in the club's most recent fixtures. The initial recovery timeline was around two weeks, so the match against Getafe immediately appeared as a possible date for his return.
His comeback would be a major boost for Giráldez, although it will be necessary to check how he responds during Sunday's session before knowing whether he can finally be included in the squad. After several weeks out, it seems difficult to think at the outset about a heavy minutes load if he is cleared to play.
Aleix Febas4.470.000€-110.000€ ?
MDAleix Febas, meanwhile, continues recovering from the right rib contusion he suffered against Athletic. The discomfort kept him out of the match against Real Sociedad, but his return to collective training considerably increases his chances of being available soon.
More academy presence at Afouteza
Giráldez again completed training with players from the lower categories. David Sueiro and Hugo López worked under the orders of the first-team coach, while Hugo Burcio was also present in the Afouteza session.
This Sunday, Celta will hold their final training session before traveling to Madrid to face the Monday, September 7 match against Getafe at the Coliseum. It will be then when the situation of Borja Iglesias and Febas is clarified in greater detail, and whether Sebastián Cáceres is ready to make his debut in a squad call-up as a Celeste player.
