Available following hamstring recovery
Zubeldia has recovered from his hamstring injury and is available for Sunday's La Liga clash against Deportivo after resuming team training, according to the club.
Analysis: Zubeldia has made sufficient progress in his recovery to return to contention after spending time on the sidelines with a hamstring injury. The center-back recently rejoined group training and has now been cleared for selection, providing Real Sociedad with additional defensive depth ahead of Sunday's matchup. However, his lack of match fitness could limit him to a substitute role initially, with Mamadou Sarr expected to retain his place in the starting XI. Zubeldia should gradually work his way back into the defensive rotation as he rebuilds his fitness.
Back in team training
Zubeldia (hamstring) is back in team training and could be an option for Sunday's match against Deportivo, according to El Diario Vasco.
Analysis: Zubeldia has finally returned to group training, and now the center-back needs to get as much fitness as possible to be an option for the upcoming matches. The veteran center-back will be a rotational piece at center-back once he's ready to play, but since he's back in training, he could be a bench option for the match against Deportivo on Sunday. Mamadou Sarr is expected to remain in the XI while Zubeldia is recovering his match fitness.
