Pablo Marín
RSO
Ban over
Marin is no longer suspended and is an option for play again.
Analysis: Marin received a red card in his first appearance of the season, but is now set for a return, as the midfielder served his one-game suspension. That said, he will look to get back on the field following his injury issues to start the campaign, only available for one game in league and UCL play this season. He did start in his one appearance, potentially returning to a starting role in the coming games.
Sent off against Deportivo
Marin was sent off after conceding a penalty during Sunday's clash against Deportivo La Coruna and will be suspended for at least the upcoming clash against Malaga.
Analysis: Marin received a red card for a challenge that resulted in a penalty against Deportivo La Coruna, leaving his team a man down. The midfielder will serve at least a one-match suspension, ruling him out of the upcoming fixture against Malaga, with the possibility of a longer ban depending on the disciplinary decision. Igor Zubeldia is expected to step into the starting lineup during his absence, while Marin will have to wait until his suspension is completed before returning to contention.
Returns to squad
Marin (hamstring) has been included in the squad for Thursday's Europa League clash against Bournemouth after missing the start of the season through injury.
Analysis: Marin is available for competitive action for the first time this season after previously returning to full team training but being held out against Atletico Madrid as a precaution. His inclusion against Bournemouth marks the next step in his recovery from the hamstring injury, though his minutes could initially be managed following the extended absence.
Remains out despite recent training
Marin remained out of Sunday's defeat against Atletico due to a hamstring injury, with coach Pellegrino Matarazzo preferring to stay cautious despite the player having completed several training sessions without limitations with the team last week, according to Noticias de Gipuzkoa.
Analysis: Marin had recently been training fully with the rest of the squad and appeared on track to be included for the match against Atletico Madrid, which would have marked his first competitive appearance of the season. This continued caution now delays that potential debut, and his path back into the squad will continue to be monitored.
Training with no limitations
Marin (undisclosed) is training with the rest of the group and should be an option to face Atletico Madrid on Sunday, according to Imanol Troyano of Diario Vasco.
Analysis: Marin returned to partial training last week, but he's now training with the rest of the group without limitations. The central midfielder is likely to make the squad for Sunday, and if that's the case, he'd be in line to make his first competitive appearance of the 2026/27 season.
Remains out despite training return
Marin (undisclosed) will remain unavailable for Monday's La Liga clash against Elche despite returning to team training after overcoming his physical issues.
Analysis: Marin has yet to feature this season and will now miss a fifth consecutive match, though his return to group work represents an important step toward making his season debut. The midfielder appears to have moved beyond the physical problem that kept him sidelined, but Real Sociedad are giving him additional time to regain the necessary conditioning before returning to competitive action. Carlos Soler and Luka Sucic should continue to see increased opportunities in central midfield while Marin completes his return.
Remains out against Celta Vigo
Marin (undisclosed) remains unavailable for Thursday's clash against Celta Vigo, according to the club.
Analysis: Marin's absence will extend to a fourth consecutive match as he continues to recover from his injury. The midfielder has yet to feature this season, with no clear timetable established for his return. Carlos Soler and Luka Sucic should continue to benefit from Marin's absence and remain among the primary options for minutes in midfield.
Remains out
Marin (undisclosed) remains unavailable and has been left out of Real Sociedad's squad for Saturday's clash against Espanyol.
Analysis: Marin will miss his third straight match to open the season as he continues to work his way back from injury. The midfielder remains out of the squad against Espanyol after also sitting out the clashes with Real Betis and Real Madrid, with no firm return date established. His continued absence should keep Carlos Soler and Luka Sucic among the main options for minutes in midfield Saturday.
Remains out against Real Madrid
Marin (undisclosed) is not included in Real Sociedad's squad for Wednesday's clash against Real Madrid.
Analysis: Marin remains unavailable after also missing the season opener against Real Betis due to injury. The midfielder has yet to return to contention early in the campaign, and there is currently no clear timeline for his recovery. His continued absence leaves Real Sociedad without another midfield option against Madrid, with his next opportunity to return coming in the following fixture.
Left out of squad due to injury
Marin (undisclosed) is not part of Real Sociedad's squad for Friday's season opener against Real Betis due to injury, according to the club.
Analysis: Marin's absence adds to a list of notable outs for coach Pellegrino Matarazzo's first official match in charge, joining fellow midfielder Jon Gorrotxategi and winger Goncalo Guedes as players sidelined for the trip to Seville. His path back to availability will be worth monitoring as Real Sociedad look toward upcoming matches against Real Madrid and Espanyol as potential return points for the club's injured contingent.
Named in squad vs. Chelsea
Marin (hamstring) is part of Real Sociedad's squad for Saturday's final preseason match against Chelsea, a positive sign ahead of the LaLiga opener against Real Betis, the club announced.
Analysis: Marin had been sidelined for three weeks with a right hamstring injury before returning to full team training, making him the club's first injury concern of the summer. His inclusion in this matchday squad points to continued progress in his buildup, though with a chunk of preseason lost, the coaching staff will likely still be cautious about trusting him with significant minutes right away. Marin is expected to continue building toward full match fitness as the season opener approaches.
Returns to team training
Marin (hamstring) has returned to full team training after missing three weeks with a right hamstring injury, according to El Diario Vasco.
Analysis: Marin became Real Sociedad's first injury concern of the summer after being diagnosed with a right hamstring problem, an issue that sidelined him from the group for three weeks. Rejoining full training now is an encouraging sign that the recovery has gone smoothly. With a chunk of pre-season lost to the injury, the priority for the coaching staff will be building his match fitness back up before trusting him with significant minutes.
Diagnosed with hamstring injury
Marin was diagnosed with a hamstring injury in his right leg, the club announced.
Analysis: Marin's recovery timeline will be determined by his progress in the coming days, with his evolution dictating his availability. No specific timetable for his return has been disclosed at this stage. The issue comes as Real Sociedad continue their preseason preparations ahead of the new campaign. Further updates on his recovery are expected as the club continues to monitor his progress.
