Borja Iglesias: “The injury is a bit complex”

Borja Iglesias has returned to competition with Celta after recovering from an injury in his left soleus. The Spain international made his first LaLiga appearance of the season on Monday at Getafe’s Coliseum, coming on in the 70th minute, and sounded upbeat about his comeback, as reported by Mundo Deportivo.

First feelings after the comeback

In comments to CeltaMedia, the forward said he was “very happy” to play an official match again. He also acknowledged the injury still isn’t straightforward: “I’m eager for more, to feel better and better. The injury is a bit complex… it hasn’t been much, but it’s an annoying injury in a zone that’s a little complicated.” He added that he feels good and wants to keep improving and contributing.

What happened in Getafe

His return came in a match where Getafe found the equaliser: Carl Starfelt levelled after Satriano had put the home side ahead. With the game in that phase, Borja Iglesias entered shortly afterwards, when Celta were trying to keep control of the contest.

Early-season takeaways

Despite Celta still being without a win early in the campaign — three draws in their first five league matches — Iglesias took positives from the performance. “We felt like we were dominating the ball, but it’s true that we struggled a bit to turn that superiority into chances. We had the game pretty controlled, but we lacked a bit of final sharpness,” he said, underlining that the team needs to be more precise in attack to turn control into points, according to Mundo Deportivo.
