As for David Alaba, the Austrian complained of discomfort in his calf muscle, which also puts his participation in doubt for the away game scheduled for March 6.

The Galácticos’ coaching staff now face a dilemma: even if Rodrygo is available for the Celta match, Arbeloa and his team must decide whether to risk one of their attacking leaders with the crucial Champions League clash against Manchester City on the horizon.

This season, Rodrygo has played 27 matches, scoring 3 goals and providing 6 assists.
