Latest Celta Vigo vs Getafe squad information
Celta have fitness concerns over five players ahead of their opening game: Javi Rodriguez, Joseph Aidoo, Franco Cervi, Pablo Duran and Williot Swedberg all require late scans.
Several new signings could be given a chance to start, including Moriba, Zaragoza and Jutglà, while 38-year-old veteran Iago Aspas is also ready to feature. Giraldez is expected to stick with a 3-4-3 formation with Oscar Mingueza at wing-back.
On Getafe's side, Domingos Duarte and Alex Sancris are suspended, while Juanmi is injured, so his debut will likely be delayed.
New signing Davinchi could start at left-back, while Munoz, Neyou and Kiko Femenia are also likely to start.
Striker Borja Mayoral – who scored just five goals last season due to injury, but scored 17 times in 2023-24 – will be Getafe's big hope in attack this season.

Latest football commentary Celta Vigo vs Getafe
Celta have just had their most successful La Liga season in nine years, finishing seventh and qualifying directly for the Europa League group stage.
The Galician side will have to balance domestic and European competition, but with the quality of their current squad, they can absolutely aim to qualify for Europe once again this season.
Coach Claudio Giraldez welcomed five new players in the summer transfer window, including Ilaix Moriba from RB Leipzig, along with Ferran Jutglà, Borja Iglesias, Bryan Zaragoza and goalkeeper Ionut Radu.
In the opposite direction, Celta said goodbye to Jorgen Strand Larsen and Fer Lopez, both of whom moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers, bringing the club around 50 million euros (43 million pounds).
Last season, Celta won both meetings with Getafe, including a 1-0 home win in the first leg in November 2024.
Meanwhile, Getafe finished the season in 13th place, with 42 points from 11 wins, 9 draws and 18 defeats. They are just 2 points above the relegation zone, so this season Jose Bordalás and his team must improve if they want to aim for the top half of the table.
Getafe have also been active in the summer, with Juanmi from Real Betis being the biggest signing. Abdel Abqar and Yvan Neyou have also joined the team.
Getafe's biggest loss has been key centre-back Omar Alderete, who has moved to Sunderland for a fee of €11.6m (£10m).
In terms of head-to-head record, Celta is slightly better with 11 wins compared to Getafe's 10, with the remaining 9 draws after 30 encounters in all competitions.
