Real Sociedad will travel this Friday morning to Villarreal with 23 players ready to take on La Cerámica. Pellegrino Matarazzo has definitively chosen, after two training sessions with the first team, the young player Ibai Aguirre as a substitute in the center of the field for the absent Turrientes and Yangel Herrera.

What happened?

The Venezuelan Yangel Herrera was injured in the calf against Osasuna and the Beasaindarra Turrientes saw the fifth yellow card. The Mutrikuarra Ibai Aguirre will reinforce a area of the field that has been weakened by the physical condition of Gorrotxategi in recent weeks.

Why is it important for Real Sociedad?

The absence of Tommy Carbonell can also be a good sign about the recovery of the Eibartarra. The other absences from the squad are the well-known injured players Odriozola, Kubo, and Rupérez.

What comes next?

Aihen Muñoz returns to Matarazzo's plans after three sessions with normality this week once the glute problems have been overcome. Karrikaburu enters once again without having to make descartes, and the third goalkeeper will be Arana.

Real Sociedad is looking to add three important points in their fight for European qualification. The match against Villarreal will be a difficult challenge, but with the current squad, the team has options to achieve a good result.
