Real Sociedad Availability

Real Sociedad face a lengthy absentee list. Jon Gorrotxategi (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. Y. Herrera (Calf Injury) is sidelined. J. Martin (Yellow Cards) is sidelined through suspension. J. Ochieng (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. A. Odriozola (Knee Injury) is sidelined. I. Ruperez (Knee Injury) is sidelined. I. Zubeldia (Thigh Injury) is doubtful. None of these players feature among the league’s top scorers, so Real Sociedad’s main attacking threats remain available, including Mikel Oyarzabal (12 league goals) and Gonçalo Guedes (8 league goals).

Alaves Availability

Real Sociedad lose depth mainly in defense and midfield rather than primary goal sources, preserving most of their attacking output. Alaves’ suspension for F. Garces slightly weakens their back line, but with Boyé and Toni Martínez fit, their main attacking output is intact.
