Real Sociedad probable XI vs Deportivo: the latest news and doubts, according to the press

The Real Sociedad host today, Sunday, the Deportivo de La Coruña, at the 16:15 (local time), in a clash between two teams level on ten points.

Sports media are pointing to major changes in both sides, especially due to the physical issues that have shaped the build-up to the matchday.

Possible Real Sociedad line-up

Real Sociedad

Probable XI (4-3-3): Remiro; Luken Beitia, Jon Martín, Zubeldia, Sergio Gómez; Gorrotxategi, Carlos Soler, Sucic; Barrenetxea, Oyarzabal and Guedes.

The main doubt for Pellegrino Matarazzo is at right-back. Jon Mikel Aramburu and Álvaro Odriozola are out with injury, while Héctor Fort, having recovered from his knee problems, has made the squad, although he does not appear to have a guaranteed starting spot.

The youngster Luken Beitia looks like an option to take the right flank, although Zubeldia could also play in that position.

In midfield, Gorrotxategi, Carlos Soler and Sucic have options to start, while up front Oyarzabal, Guedes and Barrenetxea are the main candidates.

Another important absence will be Orri Óskarsson, suspended, while Álex Marchal will not be available after suffering a febrile illness.

Possible Deportivo line-up

Real Club Deportivo de A Coruña

Probable XI (4-2-3-1): Leo Román; Ximo Navarro, Giménez, Loureiro, Quagliata; Mario Soriano, Amatucci; Luismi Cruz, Yeremay, Asp Jensen; Nsongo Bil.

Deportivo arrive in San Sebastián with major problems in attack. Aubameyang, Zakaria Eddahchouri and Marc Casadó are missing after injuries that have required surgery.

The absence of their usual forwards opens the door for the youngster Nsongo Bil, who has plenty of options to lead the line. Yeremay could play just behind the striker, with Asp Jensen starting from the left.

In midfield, Mario Soriano and Amatucci are set to start, after the Italian has overcome his physical issues. Luismi Cruz, Villares and Riki Rodríguez are alternatives to complete the engine room or to change the system.

Antonio Hidalgo could also opt for a back three, using Ximo Navarro as the third centre-back and giving the full-backs more freedom to get forward.
