Fabian Ruiz - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Five shots in draw Ruiz registered five shots (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Monday's 0-0 draw versus Cape Verde.

Impact Ruiz had plenty of attempts at goal Sunday, but he failed to truly threaten Cape Verde's low block. He only put one shot on goal -- an easy save for Vozinha -- despite attempting five shots. He started alongside Pedri and Rodri in midfield and was easily the most advanced on the attack of the three. With Spain's ability to dominate possession, Ruiz should continue to have plenty of opportunities to get into the box, but he'll need to be more clinical or find the extra pass in order to take Spain's attack to the next level.

Third midfield starter Ruiz has been named in Spain's World Cup squad and is expected to be the third starting midfielder alongside Pedri and Rodri in coach De la Fuente's preferred lineup.

Impact Ruiz ended a disrupted campaign with PSG, making 20 Ligue 1 appearances and nine Champions League outings for two goals and five assists combined after a knee injury sustained in January kept him sidelined for several months. The midfielder was one of Spain's standout performers at Euro 2024 and brings the ability to contribute goals, assists and intelligent pressing from a box-to-box position that makes him a different and complementary profile alongside the more positional Rodri and technical Pedri. Ruiz heads into the World Cup having had limited minutes this season but with the experience and quality to deliver when it matters most on the biggest stage.

Delivers one assist against PFC Ruiz assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Paris FC.

Impact Barcola ended a two-month Ligue 1 goalless run in Sunday's 2-1 defeat at Paris FC, arriving at the back post in the second half to convert Fabian Ruiz's cross-goal pass with a composed right-footed finish that gave his side the lead and appeared to have settled the match. The French winger had also been denied by Kevin Trapp in the opening two minutes after Zaire-Emery found him in behind the Paris FC backline. Barcola ends the Ligue 1 season with 11 goals and one assist across 29 appearances, with his side now turning full attention to the Champions League final against Arsenal in Budapest on May 30.

Provides assist as substitute Ruiz assisted once to go with three crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Lyon. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 95th minute.

Impact Ruiz made his first appearance in three months in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Lyon, coming off the bench in the second half after recovering from a knee injury and delivering the assist for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's stoppage-time consolation with a well-placed pass on the edge of the area, while adding two key passes and three crosses. Ruiz had been sidelined since mid-January and his return adds depth to his side's midfield for the final stretch of the title race.

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.

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.

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.
