Back in matchday squad Sunday
Ruperez (knee) was included in the squad for Sunday's clash against Valencia, according to the club.
Analysis: Ruperez's presence in the squad represents a faster turnaround than initially anticipated following his knee surgery, adding useful depth to Real Sociedad's defensive options for the final fixture of the campaign. The defender has primarily served as a backup behind Jon Aramburu in the back line this season, meaning his return is unlikely to shake up the starting lineup but gives coach Pellegrino Matarazzo a welcome additional resource heading into Sunday's match.
Could return Sunday
Ruperez (knee) could be an option for Sunday's clash against Valencia, according to coach Pellegrino Matarazzo. "Yeah both could be in the squad."
Analysis: Ruperez had returned to team training earlier in the week after his knee surgery, and his potential inclusion in the squad for Sunday's clash is a faster turnaround than initially anticipated. The defender has mainly been a backup option behind Jon Aramburu in the back line this season, so his return adds useful depth rather than shaking up the starting lineup, but getting him available for the two final fixtures of the campaign is a positive development for Real Sociedad heading into Sunday's clash against Valencia.
