Team News
Real Sociedad
Espanyol
- Hamari Traore has been out for the majority of the season due to a knee injury that required surgery, so this game could come too soon for him.
- Igor Zubeldia was substituted against Osasuna last time out after picking up an injury, meaning there's a chance he will be unavailable for La Real.
- In more positive news, Orri Steinn Skarsson and Alvaro Odriozola could return to action.
- Brian Olivan could return for the away side after missing Espanyol's previous game against Real Madrid. Carlos Romero picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in that game, meaning he will miss the trip to Real Sociedad due to suspension.
- Jose Gragera and Paul Ramon remain out for this one, but both players are expected to return to action at some point this month.
- Fernando Pacheco will also be unavailable due to injury for the away side.
