3 in, 4 out: Real Sociedad name squad to face Athletic Club

The squad of players set to be depended upon by Real Sociedad for the club’s upcoming showdown with Athletic Club has on Saturday been unveiled.

And it features notable inclusions and omissions alike.

Real Sociedad are primed to mark their post-international break return to action tomorrow night, in a highly-anticipated Basque derby meeting with Athletic Club.

Imanol’s troops will head into the matchup with confidence high in the camp, after putting table-topping Barcelona to the sword last time out.

And, in efforts to build on as much courtesy of a fourth win from five across all competitions, La Real will be able to depend upon three players who were labelled as serious injury doubts in the buildup to the clash.

This comes amid confirmation that all of Martín Zubimendi, Umar Sadiq and Igor Zubeldia have been given the medical green light to face Athletic.

Álvaro Odriozola, Urko González de Zárate, Orri Óskarsson and Arsen Zakharyan, on the other hand, remain absent.
