Ruben Vargas - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Still out Vargas (hamstring) is out for Sunday's match against Rayo Vallecano.

Aiming return against Vallecano Vargas (hamstring) was back in team training Friday and aiming to play some minute in next week's fixture against Rayo Vallecano, according to Zona Mixta.

Impact Vargas has been trending in the right direction in his recovery from the hamstring injury he suffered in January, as the attacking midfielder returned to full team training Friday and is targeting minutes against Rayo Vallecano next week. That is a major lift for Sevilla, given Vargas was a locked-in starter before the setback and handled set-piece duties, so his comeback should immediately sharpen the edge in the final third. In the meantime, newcomer Neal Maupay has stepped into an expanded role from the jump.

This news could be a huge blow to Sevilla's offensive ability, as they'll now remain without a talented winger who has produced three goals and four assists over 13 appearances this season. Both Alexis Sanchez and Peque could cover his place in the lineup and some of his set-piece tasks in upcoming games.
