Celta visit Real Sociedad<\/a> on Thursday in LaLiga<\/a> EA Sports with Aleix Febas ruled out after a collision with Unai Sim\u00f3n caused a rib contusion. Borja Iglesias is also absent, with a return targeted at Getafe on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n As reported by AS, Claudio Gir\u00e1ldez has omitted both from the squad travelling to San Sebasti\u00e1n.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Seeking to tighten up at the back in Anoeta, Celta welcome Marcos Alonso<\/a> from suspension after his red against Osasuna. He is set to join Yoel Lago and Carl Starfelt in central defence, with regular starter Javi Rodr\u00edguez likely benched.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The XI will look very different to the one that began against Athletic, with around half a dozen changes. Javi Rueda is in at right wing-back and Sergio Carreira continues on the left. Ilaix Moriba keeps his spot and Miguel Rom\u00e1n replaces Febas, the team\u2019s most in-form midfielder, and resumes control after being rested for the first half on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n New signing Couhaib Driouech makes his first matchday squad, though Gir\u00e1ldez does not view him ready to start. The coach will use an uncommon front three, with Ferran Jutgl\u00e0<\/a> off the right as a second striker, Hugo \u00c1lvarez on the left and Pablo Dur\u00e1n<\/a> leading the line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Celta\u2019s expected XI: Radu, Yoel Lago, Carl Starfelt, Marcos Alonso<\/a>, Javi Rueda, Ilaix Moriba, Miguel Rom\u00e1n, Sergio Carreira, Ferran Jutgl\u00e0<\/a>, Pablo Dur\u00e1n<\/a>, Hugo \u00c1lvarez.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
