R.C. Celta de Vigo
The Celta head to Real Madrid with several fitness issues in the squad. The Sky Blues' medical room is monitoring five players, although there are significant differences in their situations and in their chances of making it to the Santiago Bernabéu.
Borja Iglesias and Miguel Román ruled out
Borja Iglesias2.070.000€+30.000€-

Fantasy situation: five names to keep an eye on
Celta are hoping to get players back over the next few days, but there is still no confirmation of any medical clearances.
Borja Iglesias and Miguel Román should be considered out for Matchday 13. Starfelt, Álvaro Núñez and Jones El-Abdellaoui remain under assessment. Their involvement will depend on how they respond to the recovery work during the week.
The main caution is not to confuse individual training with a medical clearance: none of the three is guaranteed to be back against Real Madrid.
