Celta Vigo preview: Still hunting for their first win
Celta Vigo will enter this game without fresh injury concerns but could still be without Mihailo Ristic, who is close to full recovery from a hamstring injury. Moreover, Williot Swedberg’s fitness will be assessed after sustaining a knock on international duty with the Sweden U-21 side.
