Bench option

Zubeldia (thigh) is on the bench for Thursday's match against Girona.

Analysis: Zubeldia is back in the team sheet Thursday as expected, as the defender earns a spot on the bench. He has been a starter this season and will look for that spot back in the final two games of the season, starting in 21 of his 22 appearances.

Back available Wednesday

Zubeldia (thigh) has been included in the squad for Thursday's clash against Girona, according to the club.

Analysis: Zubeldia's return to the matchday squad is a welcome development after more than a month on the sidelines with the thigh injury. The defender's inclusion gives coach Pellegrino Matarazzo additional options at the back heading into the final fixtures of the season, with Duje Caleta-Car having covered in his absence. Zubeldia should push to reclaim his starting role over the remaining matches as Real Sociedad close out the campaign.
