Real Sociedad's Odriozola and Pacheco Miss Start of Preseason

Real Sociedad has begun preseason training under Pellegrino Matarazzo, though four players are currently sidelined. Álvaro Odriozola is facing a lengthy absence following knee surgery and is unlikely to return this year.

Jon Pacheco is nearing the end of his recovery from an ankle operation. Balda and Gorrotxategi are also following specific reintegration plans as they work towards full fitness.
