With Manchester United and Real Sociedad fighting for the top spot in their Europa League group, both teams will want to have as many players available to them as possible.

Erik ten Hag should have a near full squad at his disposal, but the same cannot be said for the La Liga side, who, according to Diario Vasco, could have up to seven missing for the fixture.

Looking at today’s training, the newspaper explain that there are ‘no changes’ to the situation on Tuesday, meaning the same players that were absent on Monday were still absent today.

Those are Ander Barrenetxea, Mikel Oyarzabal, Aihen Muñoz, Umar Sadiq, Momo Cho, Takefusa Kubo and David Silva, who all trained to one side.

The only one believed to have a chance of making the game against Manchester United is the latter, and it remains to be seen if he will be included in the squad on Wednesday.

One final training will take place tomorrow, but it seems that Sociedad could be without up to seven important players to face the Red Devils.

Their manager, Imanol Alguacil, now faces ‘the challenge of composing a competitive 11 with the handicap of the high number of casualties that he has’.

The last time the two sides met, Manchester United lost 1-0 at Old Trafford, which are the only points the club have dropped in the competition to date.
