Tallies two assists

Oyarzabal assisted twice to go with four shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win over Espanyol.

Analysis: Oyarzabal remains Real Sociedad's focal point, and he added four shots to go along with his two assists. He should continue being the team's primary threat against Celta Vigo, and it's a good matchup for Oyarzabal. Celta Vigo has concede four times in three LaLiga games already, and gave up 48 goals in LaLiga last season.

Not expected to start Friday

Oyarzabal is not expected to be in the starting lineup for Friday's match against Real Betis, manager Pellegrino Matarazzo told media Thursday. "Maybe next week against Real Madrid or the game following that. But this game is too early; he needs more time."

Analysis: Oyarzabal scored five goals for Spain at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and is coming off a 15-goal season in the 2025/26 Liga campaign, but he won't be ready to start in this matchup purely due to a lack of match fitness. That means Orri Oskarsson will lead the line against Betis.
