Javi Rueda Injury: Will be available Saturday

Rueda (thigh) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against Alaves, manager Claudio Giraldez told media during Friday's pre-match press conference. "Swedberg, Dominguez and Alvarez are out, but the rest of the players are available."

Rueda has been sidelined since late October due to a thigh injury, though in reality, he hasn't been 100 percent healthy in almost two months. The defender is likely to be a bench option if fully healthy, so his eventual return shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions.
