OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 4/9/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Moriba made 33 appearances in 2024/25 and gradually became more involved in midfield as the season progressed. He recorded one goal and one assist while providing physical presence in a box-to-box role, with brilliant defensive contributions that included 68 tackles (42 won), 14 interceptions, and 28 clearances, all career highs in league play. He also logged the second-highest number of minutes among midfielders, behind only the reliable Fran Beltran. His growing influence convinced the Celta Vigo board to extend his stay for the four next seasons, a sign of a constant role moving forward.
Suffers knee issue
Moriba suffered a tendon knee issue and is ruled out for the time being, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Moriba picked up a knee tendon issue this week and was already set to miss Sunday's clash against Alaves because of suspension, but the midfielder could now be facing a longer spell out due to the injury. That is a big hit for Celta since he is a locked-in starter in midfield, and any extended absence would force a shake-up in the starting XI. Fer Lopez is one of the options in line to step in if Moriba misses additional time.
