Returns to bench Sunday Ahijado (undisclosed) was available off the bench for Sunday's clash against Celta Vigo, confirming his return to the matchday squad, the club posted.

Impact Ahijado had been working his way back from a lengthy absence and his inclusion in the squad marks a clean return to availability for the right-back. He figures to continue in his backup role behind Nacho Vidal for the remainder of the season, giving coach Guillermo Almada a useful depth option as Oviedo fight to secure their top-flight status in the final stretch of the campaign.

Impact Ahijado has been working his way back gradually after an extended spell on the sidelines, and a full week of normal training is a significant step forward. The right-back figures to slot back into his backup role behind Nacho Vidal rather than jumping straight into the starting lineup, but his availability gives coach Almada more options as Oviedo push through a crucial final stretch of the season in their fight to avoid relegation.

Impact Ahijado had been expected to miss the Sevilla fixture entirely, making his return to ball work a late positive development. The chances of him featuring on Sunday remain slim given the limited training time he has had, but his presence on the pitch is at least a step in the right direction. When he does return to full fitness, Ahijado figures to slot back into his backup role behind Nacho Vidal at right-back for Oviedo.

Unavailable for Saturday Ahijado (undisclosed) won't be an option for Saturday's game against Valencia, according to La Voz de Asturias.

Doubtful against Espanyol Ahijado (undisclosed) didn't train Saturday and is a doubt for Monday's clash against Espanyol, according to La Voz de Asturias.

Impact Ahijado was absent from team training Saturday for undisclosed reasons and is now considered a doubt for Monday's clash against Espanyol. The right-back got the start in the last match but has mostly been used as a depth option since Nacho Vidal returned from injury and regained the starting role on the right side of the back line. If Ahijado ends up missing the matchup with the Catalans, his absence should have only a limited impact on the starting XI.

Features off bench Ahijado (strain) has featured off bench in Saturday's clash against Getafe, confirming his return from injury.

Impact Ahijado has featured off bench in Saturday's game against Getafe as he replaced Nacho Vidal who could have suffered a concussion after a bad knock to the head. That said, if Vidal has to miss some time to follow protocols, this will leave Ahijado with some increased playing time for Oviedo.

Not on squad list Ahijado (strain) has been left off the squad list for Saturday's match against Getafe.

Impact Ahijado is not an option once again, as he was left off the squad list due to his muscle injury. This is a minor loss for the club, as he is set to be more of a depth role in the defense this season. Once he is fit, a bench spot should be expected.

Impact Ahijado suffered a muscular injury in Tuesday's training and couldn't train on Wednesday as he needs to recover from that issue. The right-back will be assessed in the coming days but will miss Friday's season opener against Villarreal. That said, Ahijado is expected to be the backup to Nacho Vidal on the right side of the defense, therefore his absence will not impact the starting XI.
