Ricard Artero Ruiz - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Back available Tuesday Artero (ankle) is back available for Tuesday's clash against Real Betis, according to coach Michel Sanchez.

Impact Artero has been sidelined for the entirety of the season due to his ankle issue, making Tuesday's anticipated return a notable milestone. The midfielder is expected to come off the bench rather than slot straight into the starting lineup, which is a reasonable approach given the extended absence. His return gives Girona an additional option in the midfield unit heading into a demanding stretch of fixtures.

Lacks match fitness Artero (ankle) is back in team training but remains unavailable for the time being due to the lack of fitness, coach Michel Sanchez said in the press conference.

Impact Artero has resumed team training with the team this week but remains out of the match squad for the time being since he is lacking of fitness during trainings. The midfielder will hope to build his fitness in the coming weeks to be back available for the Catalans.
