Aitor Ruibal Injury: Suffers injury against PAOK

Ruibal left Thursday's UEFA Europa League loss to PAOK due to a fitness issue, which was confirmed by manager Manuel Pellegrini in the post-match press conference.

Ruibal has apparently picked up a knock and is at risk of missing upcoming league and UEL action. The wide man has been active lately in both left-wing and right-back roles, producing three goals and one assist over his latest six starts in all competitions. While his absence would hurt the team's attacking potential, there's a chance that both Ez Abde and Antony (groin) will be back to operate on the sides of a three-man attacking midfield going forward.
