Overview
- Celta said scans showed a calf contusion with no muscle or structural damage, and it confirmed the goalkeeper will travel to join Romania.
- Romania initially released Radu and called Laurentiu Popescu, then asked Radu to report for checks with an eye on using him in the playoff final if needed.
- The goalkeeper felt pain in his right calf during the Alavés match, received treatment on the field, finished the game, and needed help to leave the pitch.
- Radu has played every minute of Celta’s 29 league games this season, so any setback could push Iván Villar to start in goal in the next LaLiga fixture at Mestalla.
- Celta also kept midfielder Ilaix Moriba in Vigo after he developed patellar tendinopathy in his right knee, adding to the club’s short-term fitness concerns.
