Ruibal (groin) logged 15 minutes as a substitute in Thursday's Europa League win over Feyenoord.

Ruibal replaced Chimy Avila for the final minutes of the UEL matchup, which marked his return from a short injury absence. The wide player has been an option in right-back and left-wing roles this season, but he's now unlikely to feature in an offensive spot with Ez Abde available, so he'll challenge Angel Ortiz for playing time in the back line.
