Starfelt (hamstring) is expected to miss around six weeks after an MRI revealed a muscle tear at the myotendinous junction of the right semimembranosus with involvement of the proximal tendon, according to the club.
Analysis:Starfelt is set for a significant spell on the sidelines after the injury forced him off in the 31st minute while on international duty with Sweden. The six-week timetable leaves Celta without one of their regular central defenders for several upcoming matches. Javi Rodriguez and Joel Lago could see increased opportunities in the backline during his absence, particularly with Sebastian Caceres also dealing with an injury.
