On Wednesday, Celta Vigo drew against Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Copa del Rey, with the tie to be played next week. This planning is bad news for the Galicians, as they will be without the services of captain and talisman Iago Aspas.
Aspas suffered a calf injury during the victory over Real Racing Club de Santander last weekend and will be out of action for at least three to four weeks, according to Diario AS. As such, there is no chance for him to be available against Real Madrid, making the trip to the Santiago Bernabeu even more difficult for Claudio Giraldez's side.
Aspas has been in good form for Celta so far this season as he continues to defy his age of 37. If the Vigo side can somehow eliminate Real Madrid next week, he would be available for the Champions League quarter-final. competition, although it is more likely that he has already played his final Copa del Rey match of the campaign.
