Getafe CF faces a crucial Monday with the visit of RC Celta to the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, while attention also focuses on the arrival of striker Iván Azón. José Bordalás's team, sitting 15th in La Liga with 3 points after an irregular start, aims to correct its course following a defeat in Pamplona.

Who is playing against Celta at the Coliseum?

According to the squad list published by Celta on their official website, the Galician side has called up 24 players for Monday's match on September 7th at 19:00. Midfielder Aleix Febas will be the most notable absence for the visitors, missing the game due to injury. Celta's list includes players like Iago Aspas, Borja Iglesias, and goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.

For Getafe, this clash represents a chance to earn their first home points this season. The Azulones arrive with a record of one win and two losses from their first three games, having scored just one goal and conceded four. A win would allow them to move closer to mid-table in the standings before their next match against Deportivo La Coruña.

What does Iván Azón bring to Getafe's attack?

The specialized website Jornada Perfecta provides an in-depth analysis of the arrival of Iván Azón, on loan from Como 1907 for the 2026/27 season. The 23-year-old striker, a product of Real Zaragoza's youth system, brings extensive experience in Spain's second tier, with 144 appearances, 25 goals, and 9 assists. Last season he played for Ipswich Town in the English Championship.

Azón does not arrive into an empty forward line, but rather one that already features Mateo Satriano, Enes Ünal, and Borja Mayoral. Jornada Perfecta's analysis suggests the player will start as the third option, but with real chances for minutes in Bordalás's system, which often uses two strikers and faces a season with European competition. His profile as a participative forward, not solely reliant on goals, could fit well with the Alicante-born coach's scheme.

What happened in Getafe's last visit to Pamplona?

The portal Navarra.com recalls the last meeting between Osasuna and Getafe at El Sadar, which took place on October 5, 2025, and ended with a 2-1 victory for the home side. In that match, Getafe took an early lead with a Borja Mayoral goal in the 23rd minute, but Osasuna came back with goals from Abel Bretones before halftime and Alejandro Catena in the 88th minute.

Ahead of Monday's game, Getafe's manager, José Bordalás, had praised the Navarrese team. "It's always a very difficult team, a great club with a magnificent fanbase, and El Sadar is always an extremely tough ground," the coach warned, as reported by Navarra.com. The outlet also notes that, before the match, Osasuna will honor Rubén García for reaching 300 official appearances with the club.

What is the current state of Getafe's squad?

Getafe faces this early part of the season with several significant absences in their squad. Currently sidelined are defender Abdel Abqar, full-back Andrés García, forward Christantus Uche, midfielder Juanmi, and fellow midfielder Mario Martín. These absences limit Bordalás's rotation options, especially in a congested schedule.

The team's next fixture is on Sunday, September 13th, again at the Coliseum, against Deportivo La Coruña, who currently sit fifth in the table. This match is part of a series of key games ahead for the team, the planning of which can be checked on the fixtures calendar. The immediate objective is to break the negative streak and start climbing the table, as they currently trail leaders Barcelona by nine points.
