Fit for Koln friendly
Kubo (knee) is fit and returns on the bench for Saturday's friendly against Koln, the club posted.
Analysis: Kubo had continued managing the knee sprain that lingered since the World Cup, an injury suffered from a challenge by Denzel Dumfries in Japan's opening group match that kept him out for the rest of the tournament. His return to the matchday squad marks an encouraging step forward, and coach Pellegrino Matarazzo figures to continue managing his workload carefully as he builds back toward full match fitness.
Included in travel squad
Kubo is in Real Sociedad's squad for the double header in Cologne on August 8, according to the club.
