Racing SantanderReturns to squad against Elche
Guliashvili (leg) has been included in the squad for Saturday's clash against Elche after missing the opening two matches of the season, the club announced.
Analysis: Guliashvili is in line to make his season debut after progressing from a leg issue that had kept him sidelined. The winger returned to team training last week but was deliberately held out against Getafe to avoid taking any unnecessary risks, with Saturday's match against Elche identified as his potential return date. Guliashvili is expected to initially provide a depth option in attack as he works his way back into competitive action.
Training but not ready yet
Guliashvili (leg) trained with the group Thursday but won't be an option for Sunday's match against Getafe, according to manager Jose Alberto Lopez. "We're not going to have any risks with him. We're managing his workload, but we expect him to be ready for the game against Elche."
Analysis: Guliashvili has yet to make his season debut, but the winger is trending in the right direction and should be able to return to the squad as soon as the next match. His return to action shouldn't have a big impact on fantasy, however, as Guliashvili is expected to be a depth option upfront and not much else.
Still not training, unavailable for opener
Guliashvili (leg) is still not training with the team and won't be an option for Sunday's season opener against Villarreal, according to Galerna Press.
Analysis: Guliashvili has yet to resume group training as he continues working back from a late season fibula fracture, and this extended absence from full sessions suggests a longer spell on the sidelines than initially hoped. He finished last season with six goals and two assists across 17 appearances, and his continued absence from training will be worth monitoring as Racing Santander begins its new campaign in the top flight.
Not training with group yet
Guliashvili (leg) has yet to resume group training and won't be an option for Racing's friendly match against Real Sociedad on Saturday, according to El Diario de Cantabria.
Analysis: The winger suffered a late-season fibula fracture and is still working his way back from that. Given that the team's first friendly is just two days away, don't expect Guliashvili to be involved, especially since he's yet to resume group training. The Georgian forward, who had six goals and two assists across 17 appearances in the 2025/26 campaign, could be looking at a longer spell on the sidelines based on his recent progression.
Breakout campaign interrupted
Guliashvili arrived at Racing Santander midseason from Sarajevo and made an immediate impact before a late-season fibula fracture requiring surgery cut his campaign short, contributing six goals and two assists across 17 appearances including 16 starts in 1,131 minutes of La Liga2 action, according to the club.
Analysis: Guliashvili's arrival in the second half of the season proved a significant boost for Racing's promotion push, with the Georgian striker's clinical finishing and physical presence up front adding a new dimension to the attack. His output of six goals in just 17 appearances underlines his efficiency in front of goal, and his performances quickly established him as an important figure in the squad. However, his season was brought to a premature end by a fracture of his right fibula sustained against Valladolid, requiring successful surgery performed in Madrid. The club's medical staff estimates he could return to training before the start of the 2026-27 season, giving Racing hope that their striker will be fully available when La Liga kicks off.
