Real Sociedad chase unlikely comeback against Chelsea despite four absences | OneFootball

Real Sociedad prepare to face Chelsea in the Women’s Champions League on Wednesday at 19:00, trailing 5-2 from the first leg and aiming for an unlikely comeback while intent on leaving a strong impression.

According to Diario Vasco, the squad trained in good spirits on Zubieta’s 'z6' pitch on the eve of the tie.

After a customary group photo, fitness coach Beñat Erkizia led ball work, then a game using poles and bibs. Head coach Fernando Torres oversaw proceedings following Arturo Ruizm’s move to England, alongside assistant Aitor Resende, promoted from the B team.

La Real go into the match with four absences through injury. The positive is that neither the reverse in London nor Saturday’s 0-2 defeat by Logroño United left new physical problems. The negative is that Aiara Agirrezabala, María Molina and Sonya Keefe remain out.

In addition, goalkeeper Alazne Estensoro is with the under-20 national team at the World Cup. Covering the gaps, B-team players Maite Mendiburu, Iraia Soroa, Ane Isasisasmendi and Carlota Chacón continue to train with the first team.
