Real Sociedad have been managing Takefusa Kubo's fitness. The winger has been working back into training carrying a knee problem that has lingered since the World Cup, with his return to full sessions handled gradually. The club has also confirmed a Zubeldia injury.

Celta Vigo have a longer absence list. Javi Galán is out with a thigh tear, Borja Iglesias is expected to miss around two weeks with a soleus muscle injury, and Matías Vecino is sidelined until later in the year with a knee problem. Celta have added to their squad too: winger Couhaib Driouech joined permanently from PSV Eindhoven after a career-best season in the Netherlands.
