Scores equalizer
Starfelt scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Getafe. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 77th minute.
Analysis: Starfelt would save Celta from the loss Monday as he found the back of the net, with the defender notching a goal in the 57th minute to equalize the game. This gives the defender a rare goal, as he didn't see any in league play last season. He also added a clearance, two interceptions and three tackles in the defense.
Back for preseason
Starfelt joined Celta Vigo's preseason training camp on Wednesday, the club announced.
Analysis: Starfelt had missed the final 12 matches of last season with a herniated disc, an issue for which surgery had been considered before he was ultimately able to avoid the operation. He made brief appearances at the World Cup with Sweden, including 89th minute involvement against Japan, though his limited playing time had raised questions about his full recovery heading into preseason. The defender addressed those concerns directly in a social media post, saying he was back and fully fit despite what he described as a complicated stretch balancing the Europa League run and the injury scare. Starfelt is expected to build toward full fitness as Celta Vigo's preseason continues.
