Not everything was going to be negative for Real Sociedad. Within the depression that has come from his bad restart of the league, above marked by the many injuries he has suffered, Imanol Alguacil recovers to receive one of his key players, Mikel Merino, to Real Madrid, who served a penalty this Thursday in Mendizorroza . The Navarrese midfielder will return to eleven to reorganize the realistic game, which for now is conspicuous by absence in post-confinement matches.
Merino is a fundamental footballer, the best partner of a Ødegaard that has not returned in good shape, but that even so he will remain in the starting eleven, because in Vitoria he only played an hour to protect him from the small inconveniences that he carries. It will be one of the safe novelties in the eleven against Real Madrid. The other will be Andoni Gorosabel on the right side, since Zaldua was sent off in Mendizorroza the day before. It so happens that the one from Arrásate Mondragón started by surprise making a great match in the historic cup elimination at the Santiago Bernabéu this season. Everything indicates that Monreal will also return to eleven on the other side, being a substitute against Alavés. From there, many more news are not expected, In doubt as to whether Le Normand will start in the defense and whether Isak and Portu will return to the game after leaving the bench on the last day.
