Zakharyan and Beitia return to Real Sociedad training

Arsen Zakharyan and Luken Beitia are back in training with Real Sociedad at Zubieta. According to Mundo Deportivo, the squad trained on Tuesday afternoon in the first of two sessions before the European clash with Olympique Lyonnais, and opened with a minute of silence for Jesús de Miguel.

The Russian midfielder missed the derby against Athletic Club with an ankle sprain, but completed the session normally and should be available for the squad. Beitia, a young centre-back from the academy, has overcome the ankle sprain that kept him out for three weeks and rejoins the group under Pellegrino Matarazzo to bolster the defence.

Youth players Fraga and Marchal also trained with the first team. Marchal's involvement stands out, as he had lost some minutes in the rotations in recent weeks.
