Impact Ruiz has suffered a setback from his previous injury and will not be available for Saturday's match. He has been a regular starter this season and his absence will require a change, with Arnaut Danjuma likely to start up front as he did Sunday against Real Madrid.

Available for Real Madrid Ruiz (undisclosed) has been training normally this week and will be available for Sunday's clash against Real Madrid, coach Michel Sanchez said in the press conference.

Impact Ruiz missed the last match against Getafe due to an undisclosed injury. He has resumed team training this week and is expected to be available for the upcoming game against Real Madrid. He should return to the starting XI as the striker for the match against the Madrilenes.

Out due to injury Ruiz is out for Friday's match against Getafe due to physical discomfort, according to his club.

Impact Ruiz is heading to the sidelines Friday, being a late absence due to an undisclosed injury. This is a major loss for the club, as he is a regular starter, starting in 16 of his 20 appearances. That said, they will hope for a quick return, with Cristian Stuani taking his spot against Getafe.

Struggles to gain foothold Ruiz Ortega generated three clearancesand two interceptions in Saturday's 3-0 loss against Athletic.

Impact Ruiz, like many of Girona's attackers, really failed to make an impact in their 3-0 loss to Athletic on Saturday. In 66 minutes played, the striker did not register a single shot, made one pass into the final third, and did not create a single chance. Much of Ruiz's failings in this match can likely be chalked up to a less than ideal game state, but he still largely went invisible. He will hope to have a much more dynamic performance this Friday against Getafe.

Scores in victory Ortega scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Monday's 2-1 victory against Las Palmas.

Impact Ortega picked up a fourth consecutive start in league play and buried a goal for the second time in that span. He also tied his season highs with three shots and two shots on target in the match. On the other hand, Ortega has not played more than 74 minutes in league play since October 6, 2024.

Scores in win Friday Ruiz scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 3-0 win versus Valladolid. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 24th minute.

Impact Ruiz scored Girona's second goal of the match with a perfect header from close range, though, to be fair, he had some help from Karl Jakob Hein, who could've done a better job between the posts in that sequence. This was Ruiz's third goal of the season.

Earns bench spot Ruiz (groin) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Sturm Graz.

Impact Ruiz has returned to play after earning a spot on the squad list, finding the bench for Wednesday's contest. This is his first appearance on the team sheet since early October, having faced a long absence. That said, he will look to see some time to test his legs, as he did see consistent starting time ahead of his injuries.

On UCL team sheet Ruiz (groin) is on the team sheet for Wednesday's UCL clash against Sturm Graz.

Impact Ruiz is set to make the trip Wednesday after missing the last month with a groin injury. He could also get a start in the lineup, pending fitness, after starting all nine league games in the attack, scoring two goals.

Remains out Tuesday Ruiz (groin) is not in the squad for Tuesday's Champions League match against PSV Eindhoven.

Impact Ruiz is set to miss a fourth consecutive match due to a groin injury, and the striker doesn't have a timetable for his return yet. Girona will face Getafe on Sunday before the international break, but it wouldn't be surprising if the striker is held out until after the stoppage to have more time to recover. Ruiz has two goals in nine starts across all competitions in 2024/25.

Did not play Tuesday Ortega (groin) was not an option during Tuesday's 2-0 win over Slovan Bratislava.

Impact Ortega will be questionable for Saturday after missing the UCL clash with a groin injury. He's scored just twice in nine appearances, with Arnaut Danjuma likely an option in the attack of Ortega is ruled out again.

Scores from a penalty to seal win Ruiz Ortega scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 2-0 win against Sevilla.

Impact Ortega scored his second goal of the season, both coming in back-to-back games. This goal came from the penalty spot and helped his side secure victory. In each game so far this season, he has managed at least two shots, and this was his second game with two shots on target.

First La Liga goal Ruiz Ortega scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Thursday's 4-0 win over Osasuna.

Impact Ruiz Ortega displayed his skill Thursday, thundering a volley into the top corner of the net for Girona's third goal as they would go on to defeat Osasuna by a margin of 4 - 0. The goal marked Ruiz Ortega's return to La Liga after developing through the Barcelona system and making a single senior appearance during the 2018 - 2019 campaign. Ruiz Ortega has most recently spent 2020 - 2024 with SC Braga in Portugal where he scored 20 goals over 123 appearances. He has been named to the starting XI in each of Girona's first three matches to begin the 2024 - 2025 campaign.
