Starfelt's club coach, Claudio Giraldez, speaks out about the defender's concerns:
"It's not progressing; he's not making any progress, and it's a bit of a mystery when he can play and when the discomfort will go away," he said, according to the newspaper La Voz de Galicia.
The centre-back has missed seven straight matches for Celta Vigo, and Marca writes that the season is likely over for Starfelt. There is also speculation that the Swede's World Cup place is in doubt.
In Starfelt's absence, Celta Vigo lost Sunday's league match against Villarreal (1–2). Williot Swedberg, a fellow Swedish national team player, was absent. The 20-year-old has a knock but should be back for the next match, according to coach Giraldez.
