Ruiz - Europa League

[Tomo]

Does anybody know the deal with Bryan and when he can play in the Europa League? Is it in the round of 32? Or when Twente get knocked out..

I would hope he could eventually feature

[dancrawford]

Don't think he can play this year at all.

[manxman]

When we re-register the squads in January I thought.

[Whiteroom]

He can start playing in Jan when we re-register the squad.

[RidgeRider]

Cool. Maybe he can pick up some more playing time in that competition. I think that would help him with us.

[Andy_M]

Yeah I read that he can be registered in January for the knock-out rounds of games.

Would expect him to get plenty of playing time in this competition!

[Jack Fulham]

I thought he could only be registered in jan if Twente got knocked out in the group stages?

[ElissonSnygg]

I thought he were cup-tied the whole tournament.. 

[FFC Norway]

I thought he could only be registered in jan if Twente got knocked out in the group stages?

I think you're right.

Hopefully this will clear things up - doesn't look good for Ruiz though.
