Salamanca UDS and RC Celta de Vigo meet on Friday at 21:00 local peninsular time at the Estadio Helmántico in Salamanca for the first round of the Copa del Rey, with live television coverage available on LaLiga TV for viewers in Spain.
Reprogrammed Copa del Rey Fixture at Estadio Helmántico
The first-round Copa del Rey tie between Salamanca UDS and RC Celta de Vigo was rescheduled by the Real Federación Española de Fútbol. The federation postponed the original fixture as a mark of respect following a fatal railway accident in Toledo. Salamanca enters the match competing in Group 5 of Segunda Federación under head coach Iker Muniain, holding an upward trajectory in regular league play.
In their most recent league outing prior to the cup fixture, the Blanquinegra squad earned a 1-3 away victory against Real Ávila at the Estadio Adolfo Suárez, with goals scored by Larri, Urki, and Asier. The club relies on defensive block solidity and forward sharpness to contest a opponent from a higher division.
Celta de Vigo Squad Rotation and Injury List
RC Celta arrives at the Estadio Helmántico following a demanding schedule across LaLiga Sports and European competition. In their last domestic match before the international break, manager Claudio Giráldez saw his side fall 3-0 to Rayo Vallecano at Vallecas, a result the team looks to move past immediately through vertical play in the cup tournament.
Giráldez has granted technical rest to several regular starters carrying heavy minute counts. To compensate for those rotations, the Galician club included several players from the reserve side Celta Fortuna in the traveling squad, including Ángel Arcos, Germain Milla, and Andrés Antañón. Meanwhile, medical services continue monitoring injured players Carl Starfelt, Borja Iglesias, Miguel Román, Álvaro Núñez, and Jones El-Abdellaoui.
