Surgery successful
El-Abdellaoui (knee) has received successful surgery and is set to return to Celta in the coming days, according to his club.
Analysis: El-Abdellaoui was set for surgery and has undergone the operation successfully, with the forward now ready to start his recovery process. He will return to his club in the coming days to start the process, likely needing a few weeks before he starts any movement and physical therapy. He will still be expected to return in 2027, hopefully returning early in the year and not missing too much time after January.
Set for knee surgery
El-Abdellaoui will undergo surgery after being diagnosed with a small loose body in his left knee, according to the club.
Analysis: El-Abdellaoui is now set for surgery after initially being diagnosed with synovitis in the knee, extending his spell on the sidelines beyond the international break. The procedure represents a more significant setback than initially anticipated, and Celta Vigo have yet to provide a timetable for his return. Further clarity on his recovery should emerge following surgery.
Dealt knee injury
El-Abdellaoui is suffering from synovitis in his knee and is out for the time being, according to his club.
Analysis: El-Ebdellaoui is not going to take the field for Celta Vigo this week as they head into the international break, as the forward has been dealing with some inflammation in his knee. The good news is that he will have around two weeks to recover due to the upcoming break, getting some time off. He could still miss time following the break, though, as a return will take around two to four weeks.
Available for Europa League opener
El-Abdellaoui (undisclosed) is available for Wednesday's Europa League opener against AC Omonia, the club posted.
Analysis: El-Abdellaoui had been a doubt for the recent match against Malaga due to discomfort, an issue coach Claudio Giraldez had flagged along with several other fitness concerns at the time. His confirmed availability now gives Celta another attacking option, having contributed three shots and two clearances across three appearances so far this season.
Left out Sunday
El-Abdellaoui (undsiclosed) is not in the squad for Sunday's match against Malaga.
Analysis: El-Abdellaoui misses out after failing to arrive in good condition and picking up discomfort before the match, leaving him unavailable for Sunday's contest.
Dealing with discomfort
El-Abdellaoui (undisclosed) is a doubt for Sunday's clash against Malaga due to discomfort, according to coach Claudio Giraldez, per Grada de Rio. "Jones also has discomfort."
Analysis: El-Abdellaoui's uncertain status adds to a growing list of fitness concerns for Celta ahead of this match, and his availability will continue to be assessed as the club approaches kickoff. The forward made three appearances for the Celeste this campaign, contributing three shots (one on target) and two clearances.
