Guedes included for Bernabéu trip as Real Sociedad face Real Madrid | OneFootball

Pellegrino Matarazzo has included Gonçalo Guedes in a 25-man Real Sociedad squad for Wednesday's trip to Real Madrid, 21:00. Whether the call-up is symbolic or intended to spook remains to be seen. The upside for Real Sociedad would be a late cameo if he is ready.

Diario Vasco reports that the Portuguese has not played since last season after failing to feature at the World Cup and undergoing a personal operation on returning from holiday.

Less positive is the continued absence of Jon Gorrotxategi, whose groin problem lets him train but not compete. He joins the injured Odriozola and Marín. Goti and Karrikaburu are omitted for technical reasons and their short-term futures appear to lie away from the club.

Ibai Aguirre is among six B-team players travelling, alongside Fraga, Beitia, Lebarbier, Carrera and Marchal. Jon Ochieng, wearing 12, could make his first appearance of the season.

Another boost is Ander Barrenetxea's presence after calf discomfort in the Betis opener, he skipped Monday training as a precaution. Pacheco will also wait for his chance.

Mamadou Sarr is not included because Real have yet to formalise his loan from Chelsea. No reinforcements have been made official so far.
