Makes Europa League squad Lainez (ankle) is in the preliminary squad list for Thursday's clash with Ferencvaros.
Impact Lainez was seen back in training recently and his return to the squad, even if he fails to make the starting XI, is a great sign. The forward likely won't be rushed back, but could see time off the bench against Villarreal on Sunday.

Seen running on grass Lainez (ankle) was spotted running on the practice field during Tuesday's session, according to El Desmarque.
Impact Lainez hasn't played since hurting his ankle in the Olympic Bronze medal match and is hopeful to return before the next international window in early-October. This means he'll target the Oct 3 match at Villarreal or the Oct 17 trip to Deportivo Alaves as his season debut at club level, and until then it's up to Rodri to hold down a starting spot on the right flank.

Still on vacation Lainez (ankle) is still on vacation and won't be available for Saturday's match at Mallorca, according to Diario de Sevilla.
Impact Lainez suffered a heavy ankle knock in the bronze medal match at the Olympics and is taking a little more time away from the club to recover from his exertions and let that injury heal more. Once he returns, Lainez will likely be a regular part of the rotation of attacking players on the wings.

Suffers injury in Olympics Lainez took a heavy challenge that forced him off after 56 minutes of Friday's Bronze Medal win over Japan, according to David Cejudo of El Desmarque.
Impact Lainez suffered the blow to his left ankle and had to be helped off the pitch as he departed. While he may not have been likely to play during the first La Liga matches while resting after the Olympics, he may now need rehab time as well and this could delay his return.

Quiet as substitute versus Brazil Lainez won four of 11 duels, drew and committed two fouls, delivered one cross, created one scoring chance and received a yellow card as a substitute in Tuesday's 0-0 (4-1 after pe...
Impact Lainez was reserved until the 62nd minute with Carlos Uriel Antuna starting again in Tuesday's Olympics semifinal. The Betis attacker tried to dribble past a Brazilian defense that stopped him from being a serious threat. He has contributed two assists in the current Olympic competition, but his value is limited after three consecutive appearances off the bench. His last chance to impress will be Friday's bronze medal match versus Japan, who have conceded two goals in five games.

Impact Lainez was benched during Mexico's last two games but still recorded some value during the second benching. He logged an assist to a goal scored by Eduardo Aguirre.

Provides assist in Olympics opener Lainez took one shot (off target), won four of five duels, created two scoring chances, drew one foul and delivered an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over France.
Impact Lainez assisted Alexis Vega's opening goal with a cross after dribbling past a couple of French players in the 47th minute of Thursday's victory. Lainez created two chances while tallying a team-high three successful dribbles throughout 72 minutes on the field. His exceptional talent is one of Mexico's major assets up front, so he'll be expected to play a role in the next clash against Japan, who kept a clean sheet in their opening game.

Provides assist in draw Lainez made an assist during Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Eibar.
Impact Lainez had a rare start here and needed only four minutes to make an impact, assisting Andres Guardado for the opening goal of the match. But the winger couldn't produce anything noteworthy afterwards, which led him to be subbed off in the 65th minute. Lainez will probably be back to the bench for Sunday's home match against Huesca.
