Pablo Marín returns to training with Real Sociedad after injury

Real Sociedad completed their second training session after the draw with Celta, but in Zubieta the focus was already on the next match at the Martínez Valero against Elche. As Mundo Deportivo reports, the first day after the game was mostly recovery and compensation work, and then coach Pellegrino Matarazzo increased on-pitch workload to fine-tune tactics with only a couple of days before kickoff.

Key return to the group

The headline from the session was Pablo Marín rejoining the collective. The Rioja midfielder carried out his first full training with the rest of the team after recovering from a right-leg hamstring problem suffered on 14 July. Mundo Deportivo explains that the issue eventually looked like it had turned into a muscle tear and kept him out for almost two months.

With his return, the Real Sociedad medical room is practically empty, with Álvaro Odriozola the only player still in the final stage of rehabilitation, according to the same source.

Sanse players reshuffle

As for the involvement of Sanse youngsters, the coach had to adjust who trained with the first team. Mundo Deportivo says that only Marchal completed the work with the main squad, while other usual training options like Beitia, Fraga, and Carrera stayed with the reserves for their league match against Tenerife.
