Fabian Ruiz Returns to PSG Squad for Lyon Clash After Three-Month Absence

Paris Saint-Germain has announced the return of Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz to the squad for Sunday's match against Lyon, ending a three-month absence due to injury. This development bolsters the Parisian club's options in Ligue 1, as the player had been sidelined since sustaining a knee injury during the knockout stages of a continental competition.

Coach Luis Enrique Martínez confirmed the possibility of the player's gradual involvement in the upcoming game. Luis Enrique Martínez stated: "Fabian can return to play for a few minutes," indicating his partial recovery of match fitness. Ruiz had suffered a severe knee contusion during his team's UEFA Champions League quarter-final match against Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon, an injury that kept him out of a pivotal part of the season, which saw his teammates reach the semi-finals.

Fabian Ruiz participated normally in full team training sessions throughout the week leading up to the squad announcement, paving the way for his official return to the technical plans. While the team has also welcomed back forward Désiré Doué, who recovered from an injury sustained in the match against Liverpool, Portuguese full-back Nuno Mendes continues to be absent from the squad due to an ongoing injury.
