The Worst News is Confirmed, Misses Real Madrid - Celta Due to an Injury

Real Madrid already knows that Celta de Vigo will be the opponent visiting Bernabéu for the next Copa game. Vigo's team, which defeated Racing de Santander by two goals to three at El Sardinero, will go to the Meringue stadium twice this season.

The news has been well received at Real Madrid, where the players remain focused on the Spanish Supercopa. The Whites knew they could face a rival like Atlético or Barça, so the pairing is not displeasing.

Additionally, the game will be at the Santiago Bernabéu, which will avoid a trip for Carlo Ancelotti's team. Iago Aspas won't be available for the game, as he suffered a soleus injury against Racing de Santander. The center-forward is the most dangerous player for Claudio Giráldez's team, and his absence at the Bernabéu is more good news.

A very important absence for Celta de Vigo

RC Celta captain Iago Aspas suffers a left soleus injury, ruling him out for the Copa game. The Sky Blues won against Racing de Santander at the last minute but received the bad news of the forward's injury several hours later.

The medical services of the celeste team reported that Aspas was injured in the Copa del Rey match against Racing de Santander. The Galician captain underwent new tests on Wednesday morning to better understand the problem.

Soleus problems for Iago Aspas

At the end of the match against Racing de Santander, Claudio Giráldez explained that Iago Aspas felt "a discomfort in the calf". The coach already knew something bad was coming.

"It got very tight, and we hope it's nothing. He's smart and wanted to stop at that moment. Hopefully, it's as little as possible and there's no kind of tear", explained Claudio Giráldez.

Tasos Douvikas was present in Tuesday's training. The forward has been medically cleared after overcoming pharyngotonsillitis and, barring any issues in the coming days, will replace the Galician at the Bernabéu.
