Celta Vigo midfielder Ilaix Moriba has been cleared to play in Thursday night's Europa League clash against Celtic despite his house being raided and jewellery stolen.
The Guinea international was with the Celta Vigo squad in Glasgow preparing for the match in the league phase of the competition.
His unoccupied property was raided by criminals, who reportedly stole money and valuable jewellery from his house in Nigran, near Vigo. It's reportedly the fourth such raid in recent weeks.

Spain's Civil Guard police force have so far not confirmed the exact value of the theft. But it's claimed in local reports that the total is 'substantial'.
Moriba is still expected to line up for Celta at Parkhead and is an ever-present for his side so far this season.
The 23-year-old cost Celta Vigo £6 million last year when he signed from German club RB Leipzig.
