Team News
Real Sociedad
Celta Vigo
- Mikel Merino was left out of Real's squad last week due to a reported discomfort in his calf. As one of the most important players in the side, he most likely will not be rushed back into action.
- New signing André Silva is still out with a hip injury, it is very unlikely he will make it back for the match against Celta.
- Umar Sadiq, however, should be fit and ready to play since recovering from his injury that plagued him for most of last season.
- On Wednesday, Napoli are set to formalise their strongest bid yet in the effort to sign Gabri Viega. The youngster featured from the bench in last week's 2-0 loss to Osasuna and will most likely sit this one out, too.
- Although tasting defeat in his first match in charge, Rafa Benítez will likely stick with his disciplined 4-4-2 formation, but needs to find avenues to create chances as Celta failed to score last week.
