Aritz Elustondo - Available to play vs. Osasuna Elustondo (strain) will be an option for Saturday's match against Osasuna, according to Oscar Badallo of MARCA.

Impact Elustondo was dealing with muscular discomfort last week, but the center-back has been involved in full training over the last few days and will be an option here. He might contend for a starting role right away due to the absence of Igor Zubeldia (strain).

Igor Zubeldia - Out against Osasuna Zubeldia (strain) is out for Saturday's match against Osasuna, according to Oscar Badallo of MARCA.

Impact Zubeldia was the only player (besides goalkeeper Alex Remiro) to play every minute for Real Sociedad this season, but that streak will come to an abrupt end. This means either Aritz Elustondo (strain) or Duje Caleta-Car will step in as Zubeldia's replacement at center-back. Zubeldia will aim to return to the side in the Nov. 30 match against Villarreal.

Ander Barrenetxea - Available Saturday Barrenetxea (thigh) will be available for Saturday's game against Osasuna, manager Sergio Francisco told media during Friday's pre-match press conference. "We've been very cautious...

Impact The winger has been dealing with a nagging injury, but his involvement in training this week suggests he's ready to play. It's unclear whether he'll start or not. It's either him or Goncalo Guedes in the front three alongside Takefusa Kubo and Mikel Oyarzabal.

Ander Barrenetxea - Unlikely against Osasuna Barrenetxea (thigh) is still dealing with an injury and hasn't yet resumed team training, which suggests he is unlikely to be back available for Saturday's clash against Osasuna, a...

Impact Barrenetxea will likely miss a second La Liga game in a row after suffering a thigh injury against Athletic prior to the international break. The left winger still has to resume team training, which makes his presence for Saturday's clash against Osasuna very unlikely. If he had to miss the game Goncalo Guedes is expected to start on the left flank, while Takefusa Kubo could reclaim a starting role on the right side of the frontline.

Igor Zubeldia - Not spotted in team training Zubeldia (undisclosed) wasn't spotted in team training this week due to muscular overload and is a doubt for Saturday's clash against Osasuna, according to Marca.

Impact Zubeldia is a doubt for Saturday's clash against Osasuna since he still has not trained with the team this week due to a muscular overload. The center-back will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine whether he can be part of the match squad for Saturday. If he cannot make it a change will be required in the starting XI since he is an undisputed starter in the backline for the Basques, with Duje Caleta-Car expected to replace him while he is out.

Jon Aramburu - Clears concussion protocols Aramburu has cleared the concussion protocols and was back in full team training on Wednesday, according to Marca.

Impact Aramburu was forced off in the clash against Elche prior to the international break due to a head injury, but he has fully recovered from the issue since he cleared the concussion protocols and returned to full team training on Wednesday. This is a positive development for Real Sociedad since the Venezuelan is an undisputed starter at right-back and he should reclaim his role on Saturday against Osasuna.

Yangel Herrera - Suffers relapse Herrera has suffered a relapse of the muscle injury in his calf and is out for the time being, according to his club.

Impact Herrera was dealing with a calf injury heading into the break and, unfortunately, has not recovered yet, instead suffering a relapse and now facing a longer absence. The midfielder will likely miss at least the next two weeks as he recovers, now looking to earn his way back into team training in the next week or so. He will probably miss at least another two weeks as he recovers, hoping to be fit near the start of December.

Aritz Elustondo - Suffering from muscle discomfort Elustondo is suffering from muscle discomfort, according to his club.

Impact Elustondo is not going to be a part of a friendly for the Basque Football Federation, as the defender is suffering from some discomfort. This will be something to watch moving forward, with the club returning to play when playing against Osasuna on Nov. 22. However, he is more of a depth option and has only started in one of his minimal three appearances, so this is a minor loss if he misses some time.

Jon Aramburu - In concussion protocol Aramburu suffered a head injury in Friday's 1-1 loss to Elche and has entered concussion protocol, according to his club.

Impact Aramburu had to leave the field late into Friday's contest and has suffered an injury, entering concussion protocol after an injury to his head. The good news is he will have two weeks to recover with no match due to the international break, around enough time he needs to exit concussion protocol. However, he is their starter, so this will be something to monitor, with Aritz Elustondo or Alvaro Odriozola as possible replacements if he misses further time.

Impact Barrenetxea suffered an ankle injury in the last game against Athletic and couldn't train in the recent days to recover in time for Friday's clash against Elche. The left winger will hope to recover in time during the international break since his absence is a blow for the Basques given his importance in the starting XI. Goncalo Guedes is expected to start in his place on the left side of the frontline on Friday.

The midfielder came on to replace the injured Ander Barrenetxea (thigh) and featured 41 minutes before being forced off late in the game.

Mendez kick-started his November by doubling his ongoing season's G/A from two to four. He has two goals and two assists in 10 appearances this season, nearly half of one G/A across double-digit games.
