Luis de la Fuente’s call for the last two qualifying matches for Euro 2024 includes five players from Real Sociedad. Those mentioned for this new FIFA window are Álex Remiro, Martín Zubimendi, Mikel Merino, Mikel Oyarzabal and Robin Le Normand and their coach at the San Sebastian club, Imanol Alguacil, has shown his pride in being included in the national team. Alguacil considered that “it is a very good sign” that five players from the squad are on that list, and clarified that “I’m sure Luis De la Fuente has not taken three more out of shame,” in reference to Igor Zubeldia, Ander Barrenetxea and Brais. Mendez.

Cascante’s goalkeeper and starter with the San Sebastian team is making his debut in a call-up with La Roja and coach Txuri Urdin did not want to miss the opportunity to congratulate him “for his work and for the great evolution he has had” in recent years.

De la Fuente’s list has arrived hours before Real Sociedad’s visit to Almería. The realistic coach has warned that “the team has to be prepared” because “it is going to be a complicated match, like all the ones that Gaizka Garitano proposes.” The delicate situation of the local team, which has not yet won so far in the League, is not something that particularly worries coach Txuri Urdin, since for him “all games are the same, it doesn’t matter which rival is in front,” and he stressed that he does not focus on the classification when preparing the matches.

There are four confirmed absences, Igor Zubeldia and Brais Méndez who will complete a cycle of five yellow cards, and Kieran Tierney and André Silva due to injury, although Alguacil announced that “if everything progresses as planned, both should be training with the rest of the squad in the week before the domestic confrontation against Sevilla”.

Some players are recovering from minor ailments, such as Jon Pacheco and Hamari Traoré, who depend on training this afternoon to see if they are fit to return to a call-up, although the coach was convinced that “they will be on the list.”
