Why Aihen Muñoz is not in Real Sociedad’s squad to face Viktoria Plzen | OneFootball

An explanation for the absence of Aihen Muñoz from Real Sociedad’s latest European squad has on Wednesday been forthcoming online.

La Real are primed to return to action tomorrow night, in a Europa League meeting with Czech outfit Viktoria Plzen.

The club’s travelling squad for the clash was, in turn, unveiled across social media a short time ago.

And, as alluded to above, one altogether noteworthy absentee was immediately evident.

Despite having played his part in group training as normal on Wednesday, defender Aihen Muñoz has not been called up to face Plzen.

The 27-year-old joins the sidelined trio of Hamari Traoré , Pablo Marín and Arsen Zakharyan in missing out on a place in Imanol’s 23-man panel.

An explanation for as much, in turn, has since been provided.

As per a report from Mundo Deportivo:

‘The reason is that Aihen is going to be a father imminently, so he is not traveling.’
