Martin Zubimendi is back fit to face Athletic Bilbao in Sunday’s derby. After the 25-year-old Real Sociedad football midfielder was ruled out on international duty.
Mundo Deportivo reported on Friday that. Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi has recovered from his injury. And is ready to play in Sunday’s Basque derby against Athletic Bilbao at the San Mames Barria.
Zubimendi suffered a hip injury during Spain’s 2-1 win over Denmark. And later withdrew from the squad amid concerns over coach Imanol Alguasil’s fitness to play in Sunday’s crucial clash. UFABET
Zubimendi has reportedly recovered from his injury and returned to training ahead of the trip to Basque rivals Athletic Bilbao.
However, Real Sociedad will be without Orri Oskarsson after the 20-year-old suffered a calf injury playing for Iceland. And it is unclear whether he will be available for Thursday’s Europa League clash with Ajax Amsterdam.
Zubimendi was slowly introduced into training last week. As players returned from the final international window of 2024, and his progress has been positive.
The final call on starting him will be made closer to kick off but the La Real playmaker is 100% ready to keep his place in their midfield.
The club will offer an update on his recovery in the coming weeks. But the 20-year-old is a major doubt for their UEFA Europa League clash with Ajax on November 28.
