Training session in Zubieta

Real Sociedad returned to the training centre in Zubieta on Monday afternoon, in the Z6 area that is already becoming the first-team headquarters. The immediate goal is to mentally recover from the loss to Sevilla and focus on the upcoming match in Madrid.

Regular players and new arrivals

Head coach Marcelo Bielsa had Guedes and Gorrotxategi present in the session, even though the mid-week match is still far away. He also saw Ibai Aguirre joining the group of the youngsters who are already with the first team, along with Lebarbier, Carrera, Marchal, Beitia, and Fraga. The coach confirmed the good condition of Jon Mikel Aramburu, who is recovering after suffering an injury in Friday’s match.

Absences due to injury

In the negative, Barrenetxea did not take part in the collective session. The player, who requested a move from Sevilla, stayed out of caution because of a hamstring contusion. Pablo Marín also missed the session, still dealing with problems after the friendly in London and is not expected to return in Madrid.

Other players

The video does not show Pacheco, although the club states that he trained normally. Karrikaburu remains normal as one more, despite being a clear outcast.

Focus on the next match

With the session finished, the team turns to mental and physical preparation for the upcoming match at the Bernabéu, hoping to overturn the loss to Sevilla and make a statement in the capital.
