Overview

• Mallorca host Celta on Saturday at Son Moix with kickoff fixed at 17:00 and TV coverage on Movistar LaLiga after LaLiga rejected Mallorca’s request to change the time due to heat.
• Jagoba Arrasate confirmed suspensions for Vedat Muriqi and Manu Morlanes and ruled out Samu Costa, noted new signing Marash Kumbulla raises internal competition, and said the team is prepared despite external noise.
• Pablo Maffeo publicly denied being expelled from training; Arrasate said he asked the defender to step out due to a foot issue, with reporting linking Sevilla to interest and his involvement for this game uncertain.
• Celta travel without injured center-back Carl Starfelt as Claudio Giráldez highlighted Mallorca’s tactical variability and said Muriqi’s absence makes the hosts’ attacking setup harder to predict; Celta beat Mallorca twice last season.
• In parallel league context, Barcelona still face registration hurdles as Hansi Flick said he does not want to lose players like Marc Casadó or Fermín López, with efforts ongoing to register Gerard Martín and decisions pending on Szczesny and Roony Bardghji.
