Jon Martín
RSO
Sees red card Monday
Martin was sent off in Monday's match against Elche due to a handball.
Analysis: The center-back was given his marching orders in the second half for a handball in a sequence aided by the VAR, and that means Martin won't be eligible to face Atletico Madrid on Sunday. This is a huge blow for Real Sociedad, as the young center-back has been a steady presence at the back for the Donostiarra side. His next chance to play will come against Valencia on Sunday, Sept. 20, with Igor Zubeldia and Mamadou Sarr likely pairing at center-back Sunday against Los Colchoneros.
Extends contract through 2032
Martin has signed a contract extension with Real Sociedad through the end of the 2031/32 season, according to the club.
Analysis: Martin has become a regular fixture in the back line at just 20 years old, establishing himself as a key piece of Real Sociedad's defense since breaking into the first team. The new deal reflects the club's confidence in the center back's development, with plenty more expected from him as he continues to build on his early impact at the top level. During the 2025/26 season, he contributed two goals, 31 tackles, 34 interceptions and an impressive 159 clearances in 25 starts and will look to build on that campaign heading into 2026/27.
Nets early goal
Jon Martin scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Thursday's 1-1 draw against Girona.
Analysis: Martin was able to find the back of the net early for Real Sociedad, though a second half lapse cost the side two points. He should be able to get involved in the attack against Valencia and its a good matchup with the side conceding 51 goals across 36 domestic games.
