Report: Nolito ready to return for Celta Vigo

Celta Vigo will reportedly have long-term absentee Nolito available this weekend following two months on the sidelines with a hamstring problem.

The Spanish international, who had been strongly linked with a move to Barcelona before his spell out of action, has scored eight times in 15 La Liga appearances for his club this season.

Celta have struggled for form and indeed goals since the 29-year-old tore his hamstring in December, but according to Football Espana, the attacker has been declared fit to face Eibar in the league on Saturday.

A total of 35 points from 24 matches has left Celta in eighth position in the La Liga table – five points off fifth-placed Sevilla, who dumped them out in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey last week.
