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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Duje Caleta-Car - Nets rare goal Caleta-Car scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Oviedo.

Impact Caleta-Car scored during Saturday's draw, but that's not likely a sign of any major offensive outbursts going forward. The defender only put a single shot on goal Saturday and sent in just one cross, likely showing the limits to his offensive upside. Caleta-Car will hope to thrive against some weaker opponents, but even then goal contributions are likely to be few and far between.

Orri Oskarsson - Brace Saturday Oskarsson scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Oviedo.

Impact Oskarsson scored a brace during Saturday's draw, a brilliantly efficient performance for Oskarsson, who only took two shots. That sort of efficiency isn't likely to carry on for Oskarsson but it's still a nice showing. Unless he can produce more volume, Oskarsson will be hard to trust moving forward.

Alvaro Odriozola - Forced off injured Odriozola (undisclosed) came on for three minutes during Saturday's clash against Oviedo before being forced off injured, according to the club.

Impact Odriozola was forced off in the second half of Saturday's clash against Oviedo just three minutes after stepping onto the pitch, an abrupt end to what was supposed to be a spark off the bench. The defender is expected to undergo further evaluation in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue, with more clarity likely once tests are completed. That said, his potential absence should have only a limited impact for the Basques, as he has primarily filled a depth role and operated as a rotational option throughout the campaign.

Arsen Zakharyan - Back on bench Zakharyan (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Oviedo.

Impact Zakharyan returns to the squad and is named on the bench which still represents an important boost for Real Sociedad with Takefusa Kubo (hamstring) and Ander Barrenetxea (strain) unavailable. Now fully healthy, he provides a needed attacking option off the bench. His presence increases flexibility in the final third.

Impact The winger is trending in the right direction, and if he doesn't suffer any setbacks, he has a good chance of returning to action against Real Mallorca on Saturday, Feb. 28. Barrenetxea hasn't played since Jan. 25 and has missed Real Sociedad's last three matches.

Arsen Zakharyan - Will be option Saturday Zakharyan (calf) has been training throughout the week and will be an option for Saturday's game against Real Oviedo, manager Pellegrino Matarazzo told media Friday. "Zakharyan has...

Impact Zakharyan's return is huge for a Sociedad team that's missing a couple of attacking options in Takefusa Kubo (hamstring) and Ander Barrenetxea (strain). Look for Zakharyan to be an option off the bench now that he's healthy.

Ander Barrenetxea - Back in training Barrenetxea (strain) was spotted in training Thursday and could be an option for Saturday's match against Oviedo, according to Diario Vasco.

Impact Barrenetxea was spotted in training Thursday and could be an option for Saturday's clash against Oviedo if the upcoming sessions prove positive, having missed the last three matches due to a strain injury. His return would provide a boost for his side, especially given the current absences in attack.

Luka Sucic - Out against Oviedo Sucic (groin) is ruled out against Saturday's clash against Oviedo, according to Diario vasco.

Impact Sucic is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Oviedo but will resume training early next week and is expected to return for the Feb. 28 match against Mallorca. Goncalo Guedes is expected to shift to the left wing, while Pablo Marin is likely to start on the right wing in his absence.
