Celta probable XI at Valencia as Iago Aspas leads attack | OneFootball

Celta begin their LaLiga EA Sports season a week late after a fungus attack on the Balaídos pitch forced the Osasuna opener to be postponed. They now start at Mestalla, marking the start of Iago Aspas’s farewell, with the forward to lead the line alongside Jutglà and Swedberg.

According to AS, Mestalla will also get the chance to salute Borja Iglesias, one of the 26 world champions a month ago. He has had only two weeks of pre-season, has travelled, and will wait for minutes from the bench.

Aleix Febas will be the only new face in Giráldez’s XI after impressing in pre-season, and he is set to be an important piece in the new project. His line-breaking carries, combination play and considerable work rate should help in midfield alongside Miguel Román, last season’s revelation.

The back line remains as last term. Radu starts in goal, with Javi Rodríguez, Starfelt and Marcos Alonso as a back three. New signings Bayindir, Faye and Javi Galán are on the bench.

Celta’s XI: Radu, Javi Rodríguez, Starfelt, Marcos Alonso, Rueda, Román, Febas, Carreira, Aspas, Jutglà, Swedberg.
