Barcelona close Sunday’s La Liga fixture at the Reale Arena against Imanol Alguacil’s Real Sociedad. Aiming to keep up their good form and maintain their lead at the top of the domestic standings, they face what is always a difficult trip.
Hansi Flick faced the week with some doubts. The match against Red Star left Pau Cubarsi battered and with several stitches in his face that left him in doubt for this match. During the week, he has been training with a protective mask. Dani Olmo and Lamine Yamal also had some discomfort. As for the latter, the German coach left his presence in doubt after he trained in the gym during Saturday’s session.
Finally, all three are in the list of 22 that he has offered, though only the defender is fit enough to start in the starting eleven. The one who won’t be there is Hector Fort. The full-back, according to Barca, is suffering from sacral discomfort and has been left out of the squad.
Real Sociedad v Barca confirmed lineups:
Real Sociedad confirmed starting XI: : Remiro (GK), Aramburu, Aguerd, Zubeldia, Aihen, Kubo, Mendez, Zubimendi, Sucic, Becker, Oyarzabal.
