Rioja (quadriceps) returned to team training Monday and will be available for Tuesday's clash against Real Betis, according to coach Carlos Corberan. "Rioja trained with the team today, so he will be available tomorrow, and it's very good news to have Luis back with the squad."
Analysis:Rioja completed Monday's session with his teammates after previously being limited to partial team training and individual recovery work. The winger has progressed sufficiently from the right quadriceps injury suffered in early August to be available Tuesday, though his playing time could be managed after only recently returning to full training. Rioja's return provides another option on the flank, with his ability to create chances and provide width adding depth to the attack.
