Impact Ruiz has almost fully recovered from his quadriceps injury but will not be risked for Friday's clash against Espanyol. The striker could have played if the game was significant like a competition final but since Friday's clash is only a league game, coach Michel Sanchez didn't want to risk him. Ruiz will likely resume a rotational role once back fit for Girona, with Vladyslav Vanat as the main option to start in the frontline.
