Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad's right-back position is uncertain after Jon Aramburu suffered a right soleus injury, with his involvement against Deportivo depending on his recovery. Luken Beitia is the alternative if Aramburu is not fit. Orri Óskarsson is suspended after his red card in the previous league match, so Mikel Oyarzabal is expected to start on the left.

Igor Zubeldia, doubtful because of a hamstring problem, completed a second consecutive training session with the group this week but is not expected to start. In midfield, Yangel Herrera is favoured ahead of Jon Gorrotxategi, who made his first start in the last five matches against Valencia, while Job Ochieng and Ander Barrenetxea are competing for another place.

Deportivo La Coruna

Deportivo's biggest concern up front is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has three goals and two assists in his last five appearances but is now doubtful because of a knee issue ahead of the trip to Real Sociedad. He came on against Betis after starting the previous four matches, and Deportivo are expected to begin without him this time.

Marc Casadó is the one certain absence, still out with a collarbone injury, while Lorenzo Amatucci has returned to group training after a recent knock and could reclaim his midfield place from Diego Villares. David Mella, handed his first start in the last five matches against Betis, is an alternative to Yeremay Hernández.
