Fit for bench Ruiz (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Lyon.

Impact Ruiz was expected to be back and is with his team Sunday, recovering from a knee injury for a spot on the bench. After the long absence dating back to January, it appears they will ease him back into action, as he resides on the bench. However, he will work towards starting time again, starting in nine of his 13 appearances before the injury.

Finally cleared, available Sunday Ruiz (knee) has been cleared fit and is available for Sunday's clash against Lyon after being dropped from the injury report, according to the club.

Impact Ruiz has been sidelined since late January with a knee injury, making his return to availability one of the most anticipated comebacks of PSG's season. The Spanish midfielder was a locked-in starter before going down and his return gives coach Luis Enrique a massive boost in the midfield, with Warren Zaire-Emery having carried the load in his extended absence. A bench role to ease him back in remains the most likely scenario for Sunday, but having Ruiz available again at this stage of the season is a significant development for PSG heading into the final stretch of what has been a huge campaign.

Trains fully with knee strap Ruiz (knee) trained fully with the ball Wednesday while wearing a strap, but remains a doubt for Sunday's clash against Lyon, the club posted.

Impact Ruiz has been sidelined since late January with a knee injury and has been working his way back gradually, with Wednesday's full session with the ball the most encouraging sign yet that he is close to returning to competitive action. The club will assess how he responds over the coming days before making a final call on his involvement Sunday, with a bench role the most likely scenario if he is cleared given the caution required after such a lengthy absence. Warren Zaire-Emery has been carrying the midfield load in his extended absence and PSG will not want to risk a setback at this stage of the season.

Impact Ruiz is seeing progression from his injury this week, as the midfielder has been able to step back into training, likely bringing a return soon. He will remain unavailable for the second leg of their quarterfinal UCL match against Liverpool, a significant loss in the midfield. A return is likely if they advance to the semifinals, with Warren Zaire-Emery still seeing more time due to his absence.

Still in individual training Ruiz (knee) remains in individual training and is not yet available for selection, according to the club.

Impact Ruiz has been unable to progress to full team sessions despite his recovery moving in the right direction, leaving his return timeline uncertain. The Spanish midfielder is a key piece of PSG's engine room when fit, and the club will not rush him back before he is fully ready given the stakes of the fixtures ahead. Warren Zaire-Emery is expected to continue in a larger role in the midfield in his continued absence as PSG push through the business end of the campaign.

Late call Friday Ruiz (knee) is a late call for Friday's clash against Toulouse, according to coach Luis Enrique. "We'll need to see tonight's training session to know which players will be ready f...

Impact Ruiz is a late call for Friday's clash against Toulouse after progressing in his recovery, though some doubt remains following recent setbacks, and while the midfielder is an important piece in the middle with his potential return providing a boost ahead of the Champions League quarterfinals, he would likely see limited minutes if available as the staff is not expected to risk starting him right away.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing return to team training Ruiz (knee) has returned to ball work with the PSG staff and is trending toward a return to full team training, according to ParisTeamFr.

Impact Ruiz has been sidelined since late January with a left knee sprain that was complicated by persistent pain, but Monday's session with the ball is the most encouraging sign yet that he is rounding the corner. The Spanish midfielder had seen his recovery delayed on multiple occasions, so PSG will be careful not to push him too hard before he is completely pain-free. If the positive momentum holds through the week, Ruiz could be back in contention for the April 3 clash against Toulouse, which would be a timely boost for a PSG side that has been relying heavily on Vitinha, Warren Zaire-Emery and Joao Neves to hold down the midfield in his absence.

Aims to train after break Ruiz (knee) is aiming to train with the team after the break, according to Fabrice Hawkins from RMC Sport.

Impact Ruiz remains in rehab from the knee injury he picked up against Sporting CP in late January and is aiming for positive progress over the international break to rejoin full team training in early April. His return would be a major lift for PSG with key matches looming against Liverpool in the Champions League, especially considering the locked-in starting role he held before the setback. Until he's back at full speed, Vitinha, Warren Zaire-Emery and Joao Neves have been the go-to trio in midfield.

Still in rehabilitation Ruiz (knee) is still in rehab and won't be an option for Tuesday's second leg against Chelsea in the Champions League, according to Paris Team FR.

Impact Ruiz trained individually this week as he continues working his way back from the knee injury he suffered against Sporting CP in the Champions League and remains sidelined for now with no clear timetable for his return. The club has no intention of rushing him back with other midfield options performing well, while the Spaniard is also focused on avoiding any setback with the 2026 World Cup approaching in June. Until he reaches full fitness, Warren Zaire-Emery is expected to keep his starting role in the middle of the pitch.

Sidelined at least two more weeks Ruiz (knee) will remain sidelined at least two more weeks to work on a specific individual program in his recovery, the club announced.

Impact Ruiz is still dealing with lingering knee pain from the knock he picked up against Sporting CP in the Champions League, and he is set to miss at least two more weeks while following an individualized rehab program aimed at eliminating the pain. The midfielder remains sidelined as he works his way back to full strength. In the meantime, Warren Zaire-Emery is in line to take on an expanded role in the engine room and should see increased responsibility in the middle of the park.

Won't return Wednesday Ruiz (knee) returned to individual training and won't make it for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Monaco, according to Dominique Severac from Le Parisien.

Impact Ruiz has only made it back to individual work as he continues to rehab his knee and he will not be available for Wednesday's Champions League second leg against Monaco. The Spanish midfielder won't be fit in time for this one and there's no urgency to accelerate his return. With Warren Zaire-Emery delivering strong performances in his role, the staff can afford to stay patient and avoid rushing Ruiz back into the squad before he's fully ready.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Trains individually Ruiz (knee) is back in individual training but reamins out for Saturday's clash against Metz, according to the club.

Impact Ruiz is back on the grass and grinding through individual sessions, but he's still ruled out for Saturday's showdown with the Grenats. The Spanish midfielder is racing the clock to be ready for Wednesday night's Champions League battle against Monaco, though that test could arrive a little too soon. Until he's cleared for full throttle, Warren Zaire-Emery is in line to lock down a starting spot and anchor the engine room for PSG.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Not available Tuesday Ruiz (knee) won't be an option for Tuesday's Champions League Playoffs against Monaco, according to Le Parisien.

Impact Ruiz is still grinding through his recovery from the knee injury he suffered against Sporting CP and will not be available for Tuesday's Champions League Playoffs clash with Monaco. It is a significant blow for the Parisians, as the Spanish midfielder is a locked-in starter in the engine room when healthy, especially on Champions League nights, and with Senny Mayulu (calf) still sidelined, the depth in midfield is being seriously tested. Warren Zaire-Emery is expected to shoulder a bigger load in the center of the pitch, while Kang-In Lee could also push for a starting role after delivering a series of electric, game-changing cameos off the bench.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Ruiz (knee) is still receiving treatment for his injury and not an option for Paris Saint-Germain, the club announced.

Impact Ruiz is nursing a knee contusion picked up against Sporting CP in the Champions League and remains under treatment. The Spaniard has been ruled out for Sunday's Classique against Marseille and is expected to be managed carefully with an eye on being fully ready for the upcoming playoff clashes with Monaco in roughly 10 days in the Champions League. In the meantime, Senny Mayulu, Warren Zaire-Emery, or Kang-In Lee could be in line for extended minutes in the middle of the park.

Still receiving treatment Ruiz (knee) is still receiving treatment for his injury and not an option for Paris Saint-Germain, the club announced.

Impact Ruiz is dealing with a knee contusion suffered against Sporting CP in the Champions League and is still receiving treatment. The Spaniard is not an option for the time being, although he shouldn't spend a lot more time on the sidelines since the issue seems to be minor. Ruiz will look to be back available for the Classico against Marseille next Sunday. Until he returns, Warren Zaire-Emery and newcomer Dro Fernandez are expected to see increased playing time in the middle of the pitch for PSG.
