Celta VigoAssists in start
Rueda assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-2 defeat to Levante.
Analysis: Rueda earned a start Tuesday, assisting one of the two goals for the team. He's only played five times since March 22, recording two assists with five tackles, six clearances and six chances created in that span.
Clears suspension
Rueda is no longer suspended and will be an option for upcoming league contests.
Analysis: Rueda was part of a rotation with Oscar Mingueza and Sergio Carreira before missing the last game due to his ban. He'll have a chance to contend for a starting spot in the final few weeks of the season, potentially featuring at right wing-back. While he's involved in both attacking and defensive tasks, he should have considerable offensive upside after racking up four goals and six assists over his previous 34 matches played.
Key assist, early exit
Javi Rueda (suspension) assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 3-1 victory against Elche. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 41st minute.
Analysis: Javi Rueda assisted the fixture's opening goal Sunday with a pass to the center of the box as Celta Vigo eased past Elche for a 3-1 win. The versatile midfielder received a yellow card and contributed two interceptions and two clearances before being removed at halftime. Rueda will miss the next Celta Vigo fixture as he'll be suspended due to yellow card accumulation.
Out one game
Rueda is suspended for one game due to yellow card accumulation.
Analysis: Rueda is set to miss the club's match on Saturday when facing Atletico Madrid, as he is instead suspended. The defender has been starting on the right flank, so this is a rough loss, leaving Oscar Mingueza to likely start in his place. He will return when facing Levante on May 12, only having three games to play at that point.
Registers most crosses
Rueda recorded five crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Barcelona.
Analysis: Rueda recorded the most crosses and created a chance despite having the fewest touches among outfield players who completed the full 90 minutes. He also made two clearances and one tackle. This marks his second consecutive full 90-minute appearance.
