Celta VigoThree shots, no goal
Roman had three shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 1-1 draw against Getafe.
Analysis: Roman had a few chances at net with his three shots, but was unable to put any of those shots on net. This is now a third straight game without a goal contribution for the midfielder after an assist in the second game of the season.
Gets an assist
Miguel Roman assisted once to go with four crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Thursday's 2-1 loss versus Osasuna.
Analysis: Roman's crossing wasn't necessarily accurate, but he got enough volume and connecting play to generate an assist in the loss. He should keep Celta Vigo's offense flowing in a favorable matchup against Athletic, a team that allowed 58 goals a season ago in LaLiga and has already let in five this season.
Receives medical green light
Roman received the medical green light during the first week of preseason, according to the club.
Analysis: Roman had undergone surgery for a fifth metatarsal fracture in his left foot, a setback that effectively ended his 2025/26 season and required a lengthy rehabilitation process including antigravity treadmill work. Getting the medical clearance so early in preseason is an encouraging sign for Celta, positioning Roman to build up his fitness in time to compete for a regular spot in the midfield rotation of the Celeste heading into 2026/27.
Progressing well in rehab
Roman (foot) is making progress in his recovery from the fifth metatarsal fracture surgery and has incorporated antigravity treadmill work at the FREMAP hospital in Vigo into his rehabilitation program under the supervision of Celta's medical services, according to the club.
Analysis: Roman had undergone successful surgery after fracturing the fifth metatarsal in his left foot during training, with a three-month recovery timeline effectively ending his season. His progression to treadmill work is an encouraging step in what is expected to be a lengthy rehabilitation process, and Celta will be hoping to have him fully fit and available for the start of the 2026/27 campaign. Hugo Sotelo, Matias Vecino and Hugo Alvarez have been sharing the midfield duties in his absence.
