Luka Sucic - Suffers injury after scoring in win Sucic scored one goal but left with an apparent muscular injury during Saturday's 3-1 win over Elche.

Impact Sucic barely got to enjoy his first goal of the season as he ended up with discomfort after taking a left-footed strike in the 24th minute of Saturday's game. The midfielder, who has made three consecutive La Liga starts, is now a doubt for the midweek Copa del Rey derby versus Athletic and next weekend's visit to Real Madrid. Benat Turrientes took his place after the incident against Elche and could be the main alternative at least until Brais Mendez returns from suspension.

Ander Barrenetxea - Could train next week Barrenetxea (strain) is dealing with a muscular injury and won't play against Elche on Saturday, but he could return to training at some point next week, manager Pellegrino Mataraz...

Impact Barrenetxea is a regular option in the attack when he's fit, but it sounds like he's a bit far from returning to the side yet. That's a problem for Real Sociedad since they're thin in attacking depth as they're also without Takefusa Kubo (hamstring) and Arsen Zakharyan (calf).

Brais Mendez - Handed two-match ban Mendez received a two-game ban for the red card he received against Athletic Club, according to Oscar Badallo of MARCA.

Ander Barrenetxea - Dealing with muscle contusion Barrenetxea (muscular) is dealing with a muscle contusion and ultimately missed Sunday's derby against Athletic Club after not training in recent days, according to Mundo Deportivo...

Impact Barrenetxea is reportedly dealing with a muscle contusion that has kept him out of training in recent days and ultimately forced him to miss Sunday's derby against Athletic Club. The left winger is expected to undergo further assessment in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue and whether additional time on the sidelines will be required. Pablo Marin is expected to take on a larger role on the left flank until Barrenetxea returns to full fitness.

Duje Caleta-Car - Clears suspension Caleta-Car is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Impact Caleta-Car has served his suspension due to the red card he received against Celta Vigo but is now set to return in the next contest. The center-back has been a regular starter for Real Sociedad and will be in competition with Igor Zubeldia for a starting role against Elche on Saturday.

Brais Mendez - Shown straight red card Sunday Mendez received a red card as a substitute during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Athletic.

Impact Mendez will be suspended at least for the upcoming meeting with Elche after being sent off in the Vasco derby. Despite tallying five goals and two assists in 21 appearances, he dropped to a bench role for the last two games, so his absence won't necessarily alter the starting lineup, with Carlos Soler and Luka Sucic aiming to retain their respective spots. The next chance for Mendez to play could come in a Feb. 14 visit to Real Madrid.

Yangel Herrera - Fit for bench Herrera (calf) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Athletic.

Impact Herrera is finally fit again after some time out, with the midfielder last available in October. He has started in all three appearances between his injuries, hopefully earning the spot back after testing his legs.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Gomez - Starting Sunday Gomez (illness) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Athletic.

Impact Gomez was training this week, and that has led to his return, with the midfielder fit for a starting spot. He should continue to earn the start, with 17 starts in 21 appearances this campaign.

Sergio Gomez - Training on his own Gomez (illness) was spotted training alone Thursday and is not expected to be available for Sunday's game against Athletic Club, according to Diario Vasco.

Impact Gomez has yet to resume training with the group after missing the win over Celta Vigo this past weekend due to illness. He still has a shot at making the squad list, but even if he does, it seems he won't be ready to play a full 90.

JANUARY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Yangel Herrera - Could be option Sunday Herrera (calf) could be an option for Sunday's game against Athletic Club, according to Diario Vasco.

Impact Manager Pellegrino Matarazzo also left the door open for Herrera's return to the squad Sunday. "It's too soon to see Herrera starting, but he has a chance of being part of the squad for this match." The midfielder, who joined the club from Girona before the end of the summer transfer window, has been limited to just two appearances in league play with Real Sociedad due to injuries.

JANUARY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Arsen Zakharyan - Training away from group Zakharyan (calf) continues to train away from the group and won't be an option for Sunday's game against Athletic Club, according to Cadena COPE.

Impact Zakharyan might be loaned out before the end of the January transfer window, but one thing is certain: he won't be an option for the derby against Athletic since he's yet to train with the rest of the group. His next chance to return to action would be against Elche on Saturday, Feb. 7, assuming he stays at Sociedad and isn't loaned to another club.

JANUARY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Unai Marrero - Suffers facial injury Marrero will undergo surgery after suffering a minor facial fracture during Thursday's training session and will be out for the time being.

Impact Marrero has spent the 2025/26 season as the backup behind Alejandro Remiro. This means Aitor Fraga will likely ascend to the No. 2 role until Marrero is ready to return to action.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Gomez - Misses due to illness Gomez (illness) missed Sunday's 3-1 victory over Celta Vigo due to a virus, according to Diario Vasco.

Impact Gomez couldn't feature in Sunday's clash against the Celeste as he was dealing with a virus and couldn't recover in time for the game. The left back will hope to recover this week ahead of Sunday's derby against Athletic Club since he has been an undisputed starter for Real Sociedad this season. That said, if he had to miss a second game, Aihen Munoz would be the one starting on the left side of the defense.

Impact Turrientes received a fourth straight start Sunday and used his time to his advantage, earning an assist in the 17th minute. This gives him his first goal contribution as well, coming after 12 appearances (seven starts). If he can continue to perform like this, he could continue earning the start.
