Chelsea v Real Sociedad live as Morgan Rogers scores early | OneFootball

According to Diario Vasco, Real Sociedad complete their pre-season on Saturday at Chelsea, kick-off 15.00, with Xabi Alonso in the home dugout.

Chelsea went ahead in the ninth minute through Morgan Rogers, finishing after Remiro had saved initially.

Pellegrino Matarazzo has travelled with 24 players, including Mikel Oyarzabal, who returned on Monday after winning the World Cup. The starting XI is Remiro, Aramburu, Sergio Gómez, Jon Martín, Beitia, Yangel Herrera, Soler, Sucic, Barrene, Kubo and Óskarsson.

Gonçalo Guedes, Gorrotxategi and Pacheco miss out with fitness issues. Jon Karrikaburu is not in London, he is not in the manager’s plans.

Pablo Marín and Mikel Goti return, and Sanse players Folgado, Beitia, Lebarbier, Marchal and Ochieng bolster the squad, though Ochieng does not have a B-team number. Aguirre and Carrera featured for Real Sociedad B against Castellón last night, a match that finished 0-1.

For Chelsea, this is an important home send-off after a disappointing start to pre-season in terms of results. With debutant head coach Xabi Alonso, they aim to rebound from a frustrating campaign that ended 10th and out of Europe, despite a costly squad featuring Robert Sánchez, Malo Gusto, Adarabioyo, Fofana, Caicedo, Enzo Fernández, Palmer and Joao Pedro.
