Ruibal (knee) has returned to individual training after briefly rejoining the group earlier in the week and is unlikely to be available for Sunday's La Liga clash against Osasuna, according to Deportes El Correo de Andalucia.
Analysis:Ruibal continues to work his way back from knee surgery undergone at the end of last season, with his return to individual work suggesting he's not yet ready to handle a full training workload. The versatile winger has yet to make an appearance this season and was recently spotted participating in portions of team training, marking an encouraging step in his rehabilitation. However, Sunday's matchup against Osasuna appears likely to come too soon, with the Oct. 17 clash against Barcelona potentially providing a more realistic opportunity for his return if he makes further progress.
