Uruguay international Sebastián Cáceres is the main new addition to Celta’s squad for Monday’s match against Getafe, after joining the Spanish club on the final day of the transfer window.

Coach Claudio Giráldez said Cáceres is physically ready and has more competitive rhythm than the rest of the team. Celta paid around 7 million euros for the former América player, who replaces fellow summer signing Abdoulaye Faye in the squad.

He is fine, which is why he has been called up. Right now I think he has more competitive rhythm than we do, and we have seen him in very good physical condition.

· Claudio GiráldezThe Celta coach explains why Sebastián Cáceres has been included in the squad.

Giráldez said Cáceres can adapt to several positions. Although he will need time to understand Celta’s attacking approach, the coach said he is already prepared to compete.

Goalkeeper Iván Villar also returns to the squad after missing the trip to Sebastián following his mother’s death. Academy player Andrés Antañón, who started against Real Sociedad, drops out.

Cáceres can adapt to several positions. Obviously, he will need a process to understand how to interpret our way of playing in attack, but he is ready to compete now and that is why we have included him in the squad.
