Impact Beitia initially sparked concerns about a serious knee injury after landing awkwardly during a training session for unused substitutes following Sunday's match, requiring assistance from the medical staff to leave the field. However, subsequent examinations ruled out ligament damage to his knee and instead revealed a left ankle sprain, a more encouraging diagnosis than initially feared. The severity of the sprain remains unclear, with his return dependent on how the injury progresses over the coming days. Beitia has emerged as an important defensive option under coach Pellegrino Matarazzo, starting four of Real Sociedad's eight matches before the international break, making his potential absence a concern for the club's defensive rotation.
