Celta sanction Ilaix Moriba for lateness, omit him from Italy camp before Osasuna and Mestalla | OneFootball

Claudio Giráldez has sanctioned Ilaix Moriba for arriving late to training sessions, leaving the midfielder out of Celta’s Italy camp as pre-season continues before LaLiga begins against Osasuna, then Valencia at Mestalla.

According to Superdeporte, the 23-year-old Guinea international has been sidelined despite being regarded as an important piece for the coach. The report notes issues around his attitude at previous clubs.

The disciplinary measure could see him miss the opening league fixtures. There are 11 days until Celta start their season.

It is unclear whether the former Valencia player will be in Giráldez’s plans from the outset. Missing the second matchday could be a significant blow given his role anchoring the midfield last season.

Whether this ends with an internal warning and non-selection for the current trip, or brings consequences in LaLiga too, remains to be seen.
