Held back by tendinitis Ryan is dealing with tendinitis in his right knee and could struggle to be ready for the season opener Aug. 14 against Cadiz, according to Benat Barreto of Diario Vasco.

Impact Ryan is still entrenched as the backup to Alejandro Remiro but he's a capable option when on the pitch. As a result, Ryan will have a bigger impact on who starts in the occasional cup match or later in the season as opposed to on the regular starting lineup.

On bench in season finale Ryan was an unused substitute in last weekend's defeat against Atletico Madrid.

Concedes three in loss Ryan conceded three goals and made four saves during Saturday's 3-1 loss to Villarreal.

Impact Ryan was given a spot start over Alejandro Remiro and didn't exactly leave a good impression. No matter who next plays in the derby against Deportivo Alaves, he'll have to reverse a run of four straight league matches without a clean sheet which La Real will take into 2022.

Concedes two in first start Ryan conceded two goals and made no saves during Thursday's 3-2 win over Granada.

Impact Ryan got himself the win, but was beaten by a corner and penalty in his first start for his current club. Don't expect Ryan to play with too much frequency, though he'll get the occasional start in a busy calendar when Alejandro Remiro needs a rest.

On bench Sunday Ryan (knee) made the bench for Sunday's match against Cadiz.

Impact Ryan is the backup to Alejandro Remiro and more likely to play in cup competitions than in La Liga this season. He underwent a small knee procedure over the summer and has now proven his fitness enough to play if needed.

Dealing with small knee injury Ryan had to undergo a small procedure on cartilage in his knee and should be released from the hospital the next day, his club announced Monday.

Heading to La Real Ryan signed with Real Sociedad from Brighton on Monday. He's committed to a two-year contract with an option for a third.

Impact Ryan struggled for minutes since losing his starting job at Brighton before last season and then was Bernd Leno's backup at Arsenal in 2021. He'll now likely back up Alejandro Remiro at his next stop, as Moya's departure left a gap in the goalkeeping depth chart.

Makes three appearances for Gunners Ryan conceded two goals in three starts for Arsenal this season.

Impact Ryan spent 2021 on loan at Arsenal after getting dropped from the starting job by parent club Brighton. With his past history as a relatively ineffective starter, it will be interesting to see if he's kept past his loan by Arsenal to remain a backup or if he seeks a new starting spot elsewhere.

Concedes once in season-ending win Ryan conceded one goal and made one save during Sunday's 2-1 win over Burnley.

Impact Ryan had his clean sheet tarnished just before halftime, but his side scored the go-ahead goal soon after and he wasn't tested again by the hosts. Although he endured his lumps this season, Ryan conceded just two goals in the last three matches while helping his side avoid relegation. He'll look to improve on his numbers across the board next season.
