Ruben Vargas
27-Year-Old
Sevilla
La Liga
OUT
Injury Hamstring
Est. Return 2/15/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Vargas became an immediate starter after joining Sevilla last summer. However, multiple injuries derailed the season and he only managed nine starts in league play. He returned from a hamstring injury in July, so the thought is that he'll be completely past that injury when the season starts. With set pieces and a willingness to shoot, Vargas should be in for a much better second season with Sevilla as long as he stays healthy. It's realistic to assume at least 10 goal contributions, if not more, if things go better for him in Spain.
New injury confirmed by club
Vargas has sustained a new injury to his left hamstring after being forced off in Monday's clash against Celta Vigo, his team announced Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Vargas is back on the sidelines immediately after returning from a similar issue, and his recovery timeline is now unknown. 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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Target for Tottenham
The Spurs are looking to sign Vargas, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Tottenham wanted to sign Savinho, but Manchester City blocked all the attempts to acquire the Brazilian. Thus, the Spurs are looking at other targets, and the Swiss international is quite high on the team's list. Vargas is a key player for Sevilla, though, so the Spanish club isn't believed to be keen on parting ways with the winger.
