Already deprived of several players, Real Sociedad deplores the knee injury of its right side Alvaro Odriozola, Saturday against Girona (1-1), 11 days before the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League against PSG at the Parc des Princes .

Real Sociedad is worried just 11 days before its Champions League round of 16 first leg against PSG at the Parc des Princes (February 14). Imanol Alguacil, the coach of the San Sebastian team, lost his two left backs Aihen Muñoz (ruptured cruciate ligament) and Kieran Tierney (left thigh), however recruiting Javi Galan on loan from Atlético.

It is the turn of right back Alvaro Odriozola to join the infirmary, victim of an injury to his right knee during the meeting in Girona, Saturday evening in La Liga. The former Real Madrid player is expected to be sidelined for a while, but fortunately for the Basques, Hamari Traore is soon to return from the African Cup of Nations. Aguacil also had to do without Robin Le Normand and Arsen Zakharyan, who were spared and remained on the bench.

Girona therefore failed to beat Real and only came within one point of Real Madrid, a leader who plays their derby against Atlético on Sunday, a week before the clash between these two leaders at the Bernabéu! Note that Daley Blind and Yangel Herrera have been warned and will miss the summit meeting…
