Alvaro Odriozola - Undergoes surgery Odriozola (knee) has started his recovery following successful surgery to repair an ACL tear that will keep him out for the rest of the season, his club announced Tuesday.

Impact Odriozola is expected to spend several months on the sidelines and could even miss part of the 2026/27 campaign with this issue. The defender also dealt with a significant issue last season, having made only seven La Liga appearances over the last two years. Jon Aramburu is now set to remain the team's first right-back option in upcoming matches.

Orri Oskarsson - Back in team training Oskarsson (undisclosed) was spotted back in team training ahead of Wednesday's Copa del Rey clash against Athletic Club, according to Diario Vasco.

Impact Oskarsson sat out Saturday's clash against Mallorca with an injury, but he appears to be back on track after returning to full team training Tuesday ahead of Wednesday's Copa del Rey showdown against Athletic Club. That is a boost for the Basques, who get another attacking piece back in the mix, especially as he has mostly been deployed as a second-half spark plug this season.

Mikel Oyarzabal - Unproductive in victory Oyarzabal recorded one foul drawn in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Mallorca.

Impact Oyarzabal fell below expectations as he barely got any opportunities to show his skills in an apparently favorable matchup. The attacker has slowed down over the last couple of games, failing to make direct contributions to the score sheet in that span. Despite that drought, he still has plenty of credit after netting a team-high 10 league goals earlier this season.

Carlos Soler - Scores winner against Mallorca Soler scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 1-0 win over Mallorca.

Impact Soler made the difference in the scoring with a half volley in the 36th minute of the weekend's clash. He added little more to his production in his return to the starting lineup after staying on the bench in the previous game. He'll look to carry the momentum if he continues to appear in a No. 10 spot throughout the campaign, looking to add to his current La Liga tallies of three goals and two assists in 21 games (15 starts).

Sergio Gomez - Delivers four crosses in win Gomez registered four crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Mallorca.

Impact Gomez was heavily involved in passes and creative actions as part of a team that had plenty of possession in this game. The versatile player featured as a left-back for the second straight matchup and increased his counts to 16 crosses and six chances created over those two contests. He has also taken a few corner kicks but might share those tasks with Carlos Soler and the no-longer suspended Brais Mendez for the remainder of the season.

Jon Aramburu - All-around outing in win Aramburu registered three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Mallorca. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 67th minute.

Impact Aramburu attempted a few crosses from the right flank and also contributed a variety of defensive stats, including a game-high four tackles during the victory. He's now averaging 3.4 tackles per contest, which represents the third-best figure among all La Liga players. Although he doesn't always play the full 90 minutes, he's the most consistent member of the team's back four with 22 starts this season.

Alejandro Remiro - Keeps clean sheet versus Mallorca Remiro had one save and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Mallorca.

Impact Remiro did a good job stopping a distance shot while recording many passes as his team dominated possession Saturday. The keeper left his goal unbeaten for only the second time this season and first since Sept. 24. Additionally, he raised his total to 60 saves in 26 matches played. He'll face a couple of difficult tests with a Copa del Rey derby against Athletic coming before the next La Liga clash against Atletico Madrid, who have scored the fourth-most goals in the league.

Aihen Munoz - Available from bench Munoz (lower back) was expected to miss some time but ultimately made the bench for Saturday's clash against Mallorca.

Impact Munoz picked up a lower back injury last week but the defender looks to have turned the corner quickly, earning a spot on the bench for Saturday's clash against Mallorca. That is an encouraging sign for the Basques, as it restores valuable depth along the back line heading into a busy stretch. Even so, he is still projected to operate as the secondary option behind Sergio Gomez on the left side of the defense.

Brais Mendez - Clears ban Mendez is no longer banned and is an option moving forward.

Impact Mendez is back from his ban and set to play again, returning against Atletico Madrid. With 16 starts in 22 appearances and seven goal contributions, this is a huge gain back for the midfield, a solid catalyst when at his best.

Aihen Munoz - Will miss Mallorca game Munoz (lower back) will miss Saturday's clash against Mallorca due to an injury, according to Noticias de Gipuzkoa.

Impact Munoz picked up a minor lower back injury that will sideline him for Saturday's clash against Mallorca. That said, he could be in the mix for midweek cup action, but there is no urgency to rush him back given his limited role this season as more of a bench piece for the Basque side, with Sergio Gomez firmly holding down a starting spot along the back line.

Takefusa Kubo - Training with ball Kubo (hamstring) was spotted in training with the ball Thursday, the club posted.

Impact Kubo has entered a new phase of his rehabilitation and is now working individually with the ball, though he will still need around three weeks before returning to competition. The Japanese winger is an undisputed starter on the right flank, and his return in the coming weeks could provide a boost during the final stretch of the Liga campaign.

Ander Barrenetxea - Spotted in team training Barrenetxea (strain) returned to training with the squad Wednesday and could be an option for Saturday's clash against Mallorca, according to Diariovasco.

Impact Barrenetxea returned to training with the squad Wednesday and could be an option for Saturday's clash against Mallorca after missing the last four matches due to a strain injury. The left winger had held a reserve role prior to his setback and is expected to reclaim that spot upon his return.

Luka Sucic - Back in team training Sucic (groin) returned to training with the squad Wednesday and could be an option for Saturday's clash against Mallorca, according to Diariovasco.

Impact Sucic (groin) returned to training with the squad Wednesday and could be an option for Saturday's clash against Mallorca after missing the last two matches due to a groin injury. The midfielder had started the three matches prior to his setback and could gradually work his way back into the starting XI in the coming weeks.

Unai Marrero - Makes bench Saturday Marrero (face) was on the bench for Saturday's clash against Real Oviedo, confirming he is back available moving forward.

Impact Marrero took a facial knock a few weeks back but the backup goalkeeper has now fully recovered and was back on the bench for Saturday's clash against Real Oviedo. That's a positive development for the Basques, who regain valuable depth between the posts after dealing with the setback. That said, Marrero is still unlikely to see the field as long as Alejandro Remiro is fit and available to handle starting duties.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Brais Mendez - Set for suspension Mendez will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in the La Liga.

Impact Mendez picked up his fifth yellow card in La Liga play and will be forced to sit out Saturday's showdown against Mallorca due to suspension. The midfielder has been a steady presence in the starting XI for the Basques all season long, so his absence creates a real opening in the middle of the park. Expect Carlos Soler to step into a bigger role, while Yangel Herrera is also in line for an uptick in minutes as the midfield rotation adjusts for that clash.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Alejandro Remiro - Three saves for draw Remiro recorded three saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Oviedo.

Impact Remiro stopped three of the six shots he faced during Saturday's draw, struggling to really shut up shop in the second half. It was a day to forget for Remiro on the whole, as he struggled mightily against some shots he would want back. He faces some tough opponents in the coming weeks which could put him under pressure.

Sergio Gomez - Assists on major volume Gomez assisted once to go with 12 crosses (four accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus Oviedo. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 32nd minute.

Impact Gomez provided one assist to go with 12 crosses and a single corner during Saturday's draw. The midfielder was excellent throughout, and peppered the box with crosses, though only four were accurate. Gomez will hope to carry this volume forward with Sociedad building on the offensive outburst.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Goncalo Guedes - 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.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Alvaro Odriozola - Suffers torn ACL Odriozola is out for the rest of the season and will receive surgery soon after suffering a torn ACL, according to his club.

Impact Odriozola had gone in for testing Sunday after twisting his knee Saturday and has received the worst possible news, now done for the season due to a torn ACL. Unfortunately, this will leave him out into next season as well, eyeing around a nine to 12 month recovery. He has been a minor player in the team this season, so it won't force much change, although it is a huge blow to the development of the defender.
