Aritz Elustondo - Back in training Elustondo (ribs) returned to training and should be an option to face Celta Vigo on Sunday, according to Imanol Troyano of El Diario Vasco.

Impact Elustondo suffered a rib injury in September but is back in the mix after returning to training a few days ago. He should contend for a starting role at center-back once the coaching staff deems him at full fitness, though for now, he might settle for a bench role against Celta if cleared to return.

Orri Oskarsson - Suffers new injury Oskarsson has suffered a new hamstring injury and will be out for the time being, the club announced Thursday.

Jon Martin - Inks contract extension Martin signed a contract extension with Real Sociedad until the end of the 2030/31 season, the club announced.

Takefusa Kubo - Mixed start of season Kubo started the season with a goal in the opener and has been a regular starter before holding a bench role in the last two games for Real Sociedad.

Impact Kubo started the season well, scoring in the opener against Valencia and starting in five of the first six games. The Japanese winger, however, hasn't contributed to any goals since and seems to have lost his starting role on the right wing to newcomer Goncalo Guedes in the last two matches. Kubo recorded 10 shots, 10 chances created, and 20 crosses along with 12 corners in eight appearances, which are decent numbers on paper but not enough to convince new coach Sergio Francisco to start him in the last two outings. Kubo will hope to be more efficient after the international break if he wants to reclaim his role for the Basques.
