Real Sociedad gets two key players back

Real Sociedad

Good news at Zubieta for Pellegrino Matarazzo. Jon Mikel Aramburu and Yangel Herrera trained this Friday with the group of players who were not starters or had limited involvement in the European match against Lillestrom, which ended with Real Sociedad winning 0-6.

The fact that both could take the field represents a step forward after several games out of the picture due to different physical issues. Even so, their return to competitive action does not appear to be immediate, and Sunday's match against the Levante at Anoeta could come too soon.

The coaching staff is handling the timelines with caution and, based on the information available, there is no confirmation that Aramburu or Yangel will be included in the squad. Matarazzo will provide more details this Saturday, from 14:00, at the press conference ahead of the league match.

Possible return with the derby in mind

If their progress continues to be positive, the scenario of the derby in two weekends' time is shaping up as a more realistic option to see both players available again. For now, the club has more bodies in training, but it remains to be seen whether they are fit to compete.

In Fantasy terms, the recommendation is to be cautious. Aramburu and Yangel are back on the radar, but starting them this matchday involves risk until there is an official squad list and confirmation from the coach.
