Gonçalo Guedes
RSOStill sidelined
Guedes (toe) remains unavailable for the time being, the club posted.
Analysis: Guedes had appeared to be closing in on a return after getting back into training last week, but his continued absence from sessions this week suggests the toe issue has not yet fully resolved. Mikel Oyarzabal is expected to continue leading Real Sociedad's attack in his absence, with Luka Sucic and Bryan Mendez also in line for larger roles as the club pushes through the final fixtures of the season.
Misses training Sunday
Guedes (toe) was not in training Sunday and will remain out for Monday's match against Sevilla, according to Oscar Badallo of Marca.
Analysis: Guedes was back in training this week but seems to have suffered a minor setback, as he was not with the group in Sunday's session ahead of Monday's match. Unfortunately, this will keep him out, a third straight match out. That said, Mikel Oyarzarbal should remain the primary attacker while he is out, with Luka Sucic and Brias Mendez also likely to see bigger roles.
Back in training, targeting Sevilla
Guedes (toe) resumed team training Saturday and should be an option for Monday's clash against Sevilla, the club posted.
Analysis: Guedes had been ruled out of Sunday's fixture against Rayo Vallecano after the broken toe and sprained ankle he sustained during the Copa del Rey run proved too significant to play through. His return to the training pitch is an encouraging development heading into the next clash, and Real Sociedad will be hoping to have their starting winger back in the fold for the Sevilla clash after Takefusa Kubo covered in his absence.
Still not ready for Rayo clash
Guedes (toe) will not be available for Sunday's clash against Rayo Vallecano, according to coach Pellegrino Matarazzo. "Goncalo won't be ready, the rest should be fine."
Analysis: Guedes had been playing through a broken toe and sprained ankle sustained during the Copa del Rey run, but the injury has proven too significant to allow him to feature against Rayo. The Portuguese winger has been a locked-in starter for Real Sociedad, and his absence forces a reshuffle in the attack with Takefusa Kubo expected to take on a larger role in the front line for Sunday's fixture.
Out, hopeful for Sunday
Guedes is out for Wednesday's match against Getafe due to a broken toe and sprained ankle, according to manager Pellegrino Matarazzo, per Oscar Badallo of Marca.
Analysis: Guedes is hitting the sidelines after playing through a broken toe in their Copa del Rey victory, as the attacker is still dealing with the injury, along with a sprained ankle. However, he is eyeing a recovery quickly, hoping to face Rayo Vallecano come Sunday's match. He has been a starter on the left flank, so a change will be made, with Pablo Marin as a possible replacement.
