Igor Zubeldia still not training with Real Sociedad group after muscle issue

Igor Zubeldia, Real Sociedad’s centre-back, is still recovering and has not trained with the group after six days off for the international break. The player from Azkoitia is dealing with a muscle problem in his right hamstring and missed the last three matches against Atlético, Bournemouth and Valencia.

As MARCA reports, the return to Zubieta also came with the expected absences of international players Mikel Aramburu, Yangel Herrera, Orri Óskarsson, Mikel Oyarzabal, Jon Martín, Job Ochieng, Take Kubo, Mamadou and Luka Sucic. The injured Álvaro Odriozola was also out.

Pellegrino Matarazzo trained with the squad that did have these days off, including Álex Remiro, Aihen Muñoz, Jon Gorrotxategi, Ander Barrenetxea and Carlos Soler, among others. The aim is for Zubeldia to overcome the issue this week and be available for LaLiga’s next round.
