Carrera y Fraga omitted as Matarazzo trims Real Sociedad squad | OneFootball

Aitor Fraga and Gorka Carrera were the late omissions from Real Sociedad’s squad under Pellegrino Matarazzo. According to Diario Vasco, the Sanse goalkeeper and striker will watch from the stands alongside injured Álvaro Odriozola and Jon Pacheco, who was left out on Wednesday.

Matarazzo had initially named 25 players and had to drop two before kick-off. Óskarsson and Oyarzabal start, leaving no recognised striker on the bench.

It is a bold set-up, with the captain operating behind the Icelander, flanked by Kubo and Barrenetxea. La Real are effectively playing with four forwards, so Yangel and Turrientes must cover the ground in midfield.

The headline inclusion is Héctor Fort, called up by Matarazzo for the first time. He watched last Saturday’s win over Espanyol from the stands and now takes a place on the bench, with the chance of minutes in the second half.

Summer arrival Mamadou Sarr is also involved for the second time and could get time after the interval.
