After a home defeat against Osasuna in the first round of the league, Celta Vigo secured a single point against Real Sociedad with a 1-1 draw. The Sky Blues were down to one goal in the 22nd minute through Sociedad’s Barrenetxea. But Celta Vigo finally managed to find the back of the net after six shots on the target, Oscar Mingueza scoring a stoppage-time equalizer.
Gabri Viega found himself on the bench during the previous game, as rumors linked him to a move to Napoli. He was set to fly to Italy for a medical on Monday night. However, recent reports indicate that the transfer deal between the two clubs has fallen through. Despite this, it remains uncertain whether Gabri will feature in the upcoming game, as decisions regarding his transfer are yet to be confirmed.
Sky Blues’ Augustin Marchesin is currently their only fitness concern, as he continues to recover from a long-term knee injury.
Manu Sanchez earned a spot in the starting lineup against Sociedad and played for more than eighty minutes. He is anticipated to receive another opportunity. Given the present circumstances, no lineup changes are expected for Celta compared to their previous match.
