Oyarzabal doubtful with tonsillitis vs Rayo; Carrera joins

Real Sociedad face Rayo Vallecano tomorrow with a doubt in the starting lineup: Mikel Oyarzabal did not train today because of tonsillitis, and Pellegrino Matarazzo will see how he feels before deciding. Carrera travels with the squad to cover that possibility. The club has 25 players called up and Luken is now fit to play.

The coach said he could rotate one or two players to arrive with fresh legs. On the injury that rules out Mamadou Sarr, he said he has no time to be angry and that his centre-backs are ready. He praised Rayo's intensity, although their results have been inconsistent: they beat Celta 3-0 and lost 0-3 to Elche.

Finally, Matarazzo welcomed the call-up of Ander Barrenetxea to the Spanish senior team and said they are working on his physical conditioning so he can last 90 minutes. According to Mundo Deportivo, the coach also noted the player's strong recent form.
