Arsen Zakharyan left out of Real Sociedad squad vs Lyon
Matarazzo names 24 players for Thursday at Anoeta, with Álex Marchal filling the gap left by the Russian, who missed Wednesday's session.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Arsen Zakharyan is not in the Real Sociedad squad for Thursday's Europa League match at Anoeta against Lyon. Pellegrino Matarazzo has named 24 players, and the Russian misses out despite returning to the afternoon session on Tuesday: he was not with the group at the final training session on Wednesday. It is his second match in a row without a place in the squad.
The spot goes to Álex Marchal, who trained twice with the first team and started for the reserves on Saturday against Girona. Luken Beitia also misses out, even though he returned from injury on Tuesday and trained again on Wednesday; Matarazzo has left him out for technical reasons. Aitor Fraga will be the third goalkeeper.
With Marchal, the squad is back to 24, something that did not happen at San Mamés, where the team travelled with 23 players. Zakharyan had already missed the derby against Athletic and will not be at Anoeta either.
