Celta's scoring debate shifts to the treatment room

Celta Vigo have scored five fewer goals than at the same stage last season, according to a report by AS, which links the shortfall to the absence of Borja Iglesias, known as the Panda, who has been injured at the start of this La Liga campaign.

Coach Claudio Giráldez said a week before the Union Saint-Gilloise match that he felt the team was being judged too negatively since the third round of the league, adding that this generation of players deserves trust. After Sunday's goalless draw with Levante, he repeated that the team and those around it need to stay stable and value the effort.

The AS report frames the missing goals as central to the debate around Celta's start, noting the figure matches what Iglesias had accumulated before his injury.
