Real Sociedad are recovering important players one week before their Champions League round of 16 second leg against PSG.
Deprived of many players during the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League two weeks ago at the Parc des Princes, and beaten 2-0 by PSG (goals from Kylian Mbappé and Bradley Barcola), Real Sociedad will be better equipped for the return leg, next Tuesday at Anoeta.
Mikel Oyarzabal, the offensive leader of the Basque team, is back with his teammates for the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg against Mallorca, this Tuesday evening in San Sebastian. He starts on the bench. The Spanish international is Real’s top scorer this season, with 12 goals, and could clearly start up front in a week, while André Silva is once again preferred to Umar Sadiq up front against the Mallorcans.
One attacker less, one attacker back
If Imanol Alguacil lost his young winger Ander Barrenetxea, Sheraldo Becker took over last weekend. This powerful Surinamese winger, recruited from Union Berlin during the winter transfer window, could thus complete Real’s attacking trio against PSG, with Take Kubo taking the right wing.
In defense, Kieran Tierney is also available again but should not start against the Parisians, Javi Galan having made himself comfortable on the left side of Real.
