Deportivo arrive at Anoeta with significant absences but Amatucci returns

Aubameyang out after meniscus surgery; Deportivo also missing Eddahchouri (wrist) and Casadó (collarbone) for Real Sociedad clash.

Deportivo arrive at Real Sociedad depleted by three key injuries. Star signing Pierre Emerick Aubameyang underwent meniscus surgery and will be sidelined for an extended period after being instrumental in the team's recent success. Backup striker Zakaria Eddahchouri is also out with a wrist injury, and Marc Casadó (on loan from Barcelona) suffered a broken collarbone against Betis. Manager Antonio Hidalgo confirmed that Amatucci, Noubi and Giménez, though available, may not be fit for the full 90 minutes.
