Elche

Elche head into the visit of Celta de Vigo with Thomas Lemar and Lucas Cepeda both in line to continue after making their first starts in the last five matches against Espanyol. Cepeda is being pushed for his place by Tete Morente, who has started three of the last five matches but was a substitute last time out.

At the back, Federico Redondo is suspended after his red card, while Rubén Sánchez and Josan are competing for the right-back spot; Josan has trained normally this week and is available for Anselmi. Fer Niño, who has scored five goals in his last four starts, continues to lead the attack alongside Germán Valera.

Celta de Vigo

Celta de Vigo are likely to be without Miguel Román for four to six weeks after the midfielder underwent surgery on a right knee injury, ending a run in which he had started all five of the team's last matches. Carl Starfelt, also sidelined with a muscle injury, is set to miss several matches as well.

Ionuț Radu continues in goal after recovering from shoulder discomfort. At right-back, Sebastián Cáceres has been cleared to play again and is competing with Álvaro Núñez for the starting spot, while Williot Swedberg and Pablo Durán remain in contention for the same place in attack.
