Dani Ceballos in Contention to Start Against Celta Vigo After Camavinga Injury

Real Madrid could hand midfielder Dani Ceballos a starting role against Celta Vigo this Sunday following Eduardo Camavinga’s ankle injury. The French midfielder sustained a sprain against Athletic Bilbao and is expected to miss the weekend clash as a precaution, ensuring he is fit for the upcoming Champions League tie against Manchester City.

Ceballos has struggled for regular minutes under Xabi Alonso this season, remaining low in the pecking order. He did not start against Athletic Bilbao or Girona and has largely featured as a substitute, including a brief appearance against Olympiacos where he appeared out of rhythm.

The Spanish midfielder now has a chance to prove his worth with a potential starting spot. He could be deployed alongside Aurelien Tchouameni and Jude Bellingham, forming a midfield trio that balances experience and dynamism.

This opportunity comes at a critical moment for Ceballos, who will be eager to demonstrate his ability to influence games consistently. With the team managing injuries carefully ahead of high-profile fixtures, his performance against Celta could determine his role in the squad moving forward.

The selection decision will be closely monitored by fans and analysts alike, as Real Madrid seeks to maintain momentum domestically while preparing for crucial Champions League encounters. A strong showing from Ceballos could boost both his confidence and the team’s options in midfield.
