Real Sociedad face Atlético with changes at the back, and Matarazzo has placed his trust in Sarr and Beitia as the centre-back pairing in the absence of Jon Martín and Zubeldia.

According to Diario Vasco, the American coach said both defenders are in a good place and he believes the squad has strong options in defence.

He highlighted Beitia’s start at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid, and noted that Sarr delivered a solid performance against Elche.

In goal, Remiro will return to the starting role ahead of Marrero. Matarazzo said rivals do not need to know the line-up in advance. He added the goalkeeping plan is clear internally and they are happy to have Remiro.

The Sarr and Beitia partnership is new, yet one the coach considers reliable for this meeting with Atlético.
