Goncalo Guedes - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Returns to bench Guedes (undisclosed) recovered and is on the bench for Wednesday's game against Real Madrid.

Impact Guedes had been sidelined for several weeks while recovering from a surgical procedure and was unable to feature in the league opener against Real Betis. However, he has returned to training in recent days, and his inclusion on the bench is a boost given that he was one of the standout players last season, when he recorded nine goals and eight assists across all competitions. Guedes is expected to become a regular starter once fully fit, given his ability to play on either wing.

Returns to squad against Madrid Guedes (undisclosed) is included in Real Sociedad's squad for Wednesday's clash against Real Madrid, the club announced.

Impact Guedes returns to the matchday squad after being left out for the season opener against Real Betis. The winger is coming off a productive campaign in which he recorded nine goals and eight assists, though he has not played a competitive match since May despite being included in Portugal's World Cup squad. His inclusion Wednesday marks an important step toward full reintegration, though his playing time could initially be managed following the lengthy spell without competitive action.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Left out of squad for Betis clash Guedes is not part of Real Sociedad's squad for Friday's season opener against Real Betis, according to the club.

Impact Guedes was one of Real Sociedad's standout performers last season, contributing nine goals and eight assists, but he hasn't played a competitive match since May against Valencia and, despite being included in Portugal's World Cup squad, never saw the field at the tournament. His continued absence from preseason now carries over into the start of the new campaign, leaving his path back to the matchday squad unclear as Real Sociedad manage his recovery.

Back in group training Guedes (undisclosed) rejoined Real Sociedad's group training Wednesday at Zubieta, increasing his chances of being included in the squad for Saturday's trip to face Betis, the club...

Impact Guedes had been sidelined for several weeks recovering from a surgical procedure unrelated to football, missing the final preseason friendlies and significantly reducing his outlook for the season opener. His return to full training changes that picture and allows coach Pellegrino Matarazzo to consider including him in the traveling squad to Sevilla. Guedes is expected to arrive short on match sharpness, making a starting role unlikely even if he is included. He could instead begin on the bench as an offensive option if he completes the final training sessions without any setbacks.

AUGUST 19 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Friday Guedes (undisclosed) is out for Friday's match against Real Betis, according to Angel Lopez of Diario Vasco.

Impact Guedes didn't play in the preseason and has been unable to train in the last two weeks after undergoing surgery for a personal matter. Given the lack of preparation he's had, it's not surprising to see the Portugal international being deemed not ready to feature against Betis. His next chance to play will come against Real Madrid on Wednesday, Aug. 26. With Guedes out, look for Ander Barrenetxea to start in the front three next to Takefusa Kubo and Mikel Oyarzabal.

Could miss league opener Guedes remains unable to train with Real Sociedad following Tuesday's surgery for a personal matter unrelated to football and could miss around two weeks, a timeline that would inc...

Impact Guedes remains unable to train with Real Sociedad and will not travel for the match against Chelsea in England, after undergoing surgery on Tuesday for a personal matter unrelated to football. Initial timelines put him out for around two weeks, which, if that holds, would put his return closer to August 25, four days after the LaLiga opener against Betis on the 21st, though the club has not confirmed any firm date and this is based on early reporting rather than an official statement. It remains to be seen whether he can lend a hand for the Betis game at all. The winger was important last season with eight goals and four assists across 22 starts, and if he does miss out, Ander Barrenetxea and Takefusa Kubo would likely occupy both flanks in his absence.

AUGUST 12 • ROTOWIRE

Out after minor surgery Guedes will be sidelined for several days after undergoing minor personal surgery unrelated to football, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Impact Guedes missed Wednesday's training session at Zubieta as a result, and he'll also miss both of Real Sociedad's upcoming friendlies against Cologne in Germany on Friday and Saturday. No further details on the nature of the procedure have been disclosed. Guedes is expected to resume training once his recovery period concludes.

AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE

Begins individual training Guedes returned from vacation and completed his first preseason session at Zubieta, the club announced.

Impact Guedes worked apart from his teammates following an individualized plan designed to adapt his workload after several weeks off and facilitate a gradual reintegration into the group. His return coincided with Real Sociedad's squad arriving back from England, where the team had wrapped up its preseason training camp and played its final friendly against Aston Villa. While the rest of the squad completed recovery work before traveling back to San Sebastian, Guedes began his individual buildup separately. Guedes is expected to continue his individualized program before joining full group training.

Scores in friendly vs. Chile Guedes (ankle) came off the bench and scored a goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over Chile.

Impact Guedes began the game on the bench, but he entered at the HT break and took advantage of a through ball from Ruben Neves to find the back of the net with a composed finish past Lawrence Vigoroux. Guedes should be a depth option for Portugal's loaded attacking line in the World Cup.

Impact Guedes had pushed through the Copa del Rey final despite carrying the injury, an effort that ultimately took its toll on his performances in the closing weeks of the season. His full recovery is a timely boost for coach Roberto Martinez, with the winger now training at the same level as his teammates at the Cidade do Futebol in Oeiras and positioning himself as a genuine contender for a starting role in the pre-tournament friendlies against Chile and Nigeria. Portugal have been drawn in Group K alongside the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uzbekistan and Colombia, with their campaign opening on June 17 in Houston. Guedes enters the competition healthy and provides coach Roberto Martinez with another attacking option.

Returns to squad Sunday Guedes (toe) has been named in the squad for Sunday's clash against Valencia.

Impact Guedes's inclusion in the matchday squad is a welcome development after the toe issue had ruled him out for a stretch of fixtures. The Portuguese winger's availability gives coach Pellegrino Matarazzo an additional attacking option heading into one of the final fixtures of the season.

MAY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Could feature Sunday Guedes (toe) could be an option for Sunday's clash against Valencia, according to coach Pellegrino Matarazzo. "Yeah both could be in the squad."

Impact Guedes had been ruled out for the time being with a toe issue, making his potential return a more encouraging update than recent weeks had suggested. The Portuguese winger's inclusion in the squad would be a welcome boost for Real Sociedad heading into the two final fixtures of their season, with Pablo Marin having stepped in his spot during his absence. The club will make a final call on his involvement after assessing his condition ahead of Sunday's kickoff.

MAY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Guedes (toe) remains unavailable for the time being, the club posted.

Impact Guedes had appeared to be closing in on a return after getting back into training last week, but his continued absence from sessions this week suggests the toe issue has not yet fully resolved. Mikel Oyarzabal is expected to continue leading Real Sociedad's attack in his absence, with Luka Sucic and Bryan Mendez also in line for larger roles as the club pushes through the final fixtures of the season.

MAY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Misses training Sunday Guedes (toe) was not in training Sunday and will remain out for Monday's match against Sevilla, according to Oscar Badallo of Marca.

Impact Guedes was back in training this week but seems to have suffered a minor setback, as he was not with the group in Sunday's session ahead of Monday's match. Unfortunately, this will keep him out, a third straight match out. That said, Mikel Oyarzarbal should remain the primary attacker while he is out, with Luka Sucic and Brias Mendez also likely to see bigger roles.

MAY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Back in training, targeting Sevilla Guedes (toe) resumed team training Saturday and should be an option for Monday's clash against Sevilla, the club posted.

Impact Guedes had been ruled out of Sunday's fixture against Rayo Vallecano after the broken toe and sprained ankle he sustained during the Copa del Rey run proved too significant to play through. His return to the training pitch is an encouraging development heading into the next clash, and Real Sociedad will be hoping to have their starting winger back in the fold for the Sevilla clash after Takefusa Kubo covered in his absence.

MAY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Still not ready for Rayo clash Guedes (toe) will not be available for Sunday's clash against Rayo Vallecano, according to coach Pellegrino Matarazzo. "Goncalo won't be ready, the rest should be fine."

Impact Guedes had been playing through a broken toe and sprained ankle sustained during the Copa del Rey run, but the injury has proven too significant to allow him to feature against Rayo. The Portuguese winger has been a locked-in starter for Real Sociedad, and his absence forces a reshuffle in the attack with Takefusa Kubo expected to take on a larger role in the front line for Sunday's fixture.

APRIL 25 • ROTOWIRE

Out, hopeful for Sunday Guedes is out for Wednesday's match against Getafe due to a broken toe and sprained ankle, according to manager Pellegrino Matarazzo, per Oscar Badallo of Marca.

Impact Guedes is hitting the sidelines after playing through a broken toe in their Copa del Rey victory, as the attacker is still dealing with the injury, along with a sprained ankle. However, he is eyeing a recovery quickly, hoping to face Rayo Vallecano come Sunday's match. He has been a starter on the left flank, so a change will be made, with Pablo Marin as a possible replacement.

APRIL 21 • ROTOWIRE

Five shots in home win Guedes had five shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Levante.

Impact Guedes took five shots but was unable to score as his side won 2-0 at home to Levante. The attacker has scored eight goals this season, having scored two in their last home game against Osasuna. His five shots were the most he has taken in a game this season.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with knock Guedes returned to Real Sociedad following the international break but didn't train Thursday due to a knock, according to Oscar Badallo of MARCA.

Impact Guedes returned to the club after spending the break with the Portugal national team, but it remains to be seen if he's going to play, as he didn't play for Portugal in the friendly against the United States due to an apparent knock. Sociedad are confident on Guedes playing against Levante on Sunday, but a clearer assessment will be made Friday after seeing whether he'll be able to train. If Guedes isn't available, Orri Oskarsson would be in line to start upfront.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Scores brace Guedes scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-1 victory over Osasuna.

Impact Guedes delivered a standout performance in Sunday's 3-1 win over Osasuna, scoring twice to lead the attack. The forward first found the net in the first half with a strike from outside the box before adding his second goal with a powerful shot into the top corner after a well-placed pass from Benat Turrientes after the break, helping secure the victory with an influential display in the final third. The Portuguese continues to be an important offensive weapon, combining pace, direct dribbling and long-range shooting to create danger, having scored eight goals and provided four assists in 28 appearances this season.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Assists against Oviedo Guedes assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Oviedo.

Impact Guedes provided one assist on two chances created during Saturday's three-all draw with Oviedo. The attackers was solid throughout the match and caused issues for the Oviedo backline, but in the end he only managed the single goal contribution. Guedes will hope for a bit more volume in the coming weeks.
