Mamadou Sarr's injury confirmed at Real Sociedad

Sarr suffered a left soleus muscle injury in Thursday's Europa League match against Lyon and will miss the Rayo Vallecano fixture.

Real Sociedad confirmed on Saturday that Mamadou Sarr has sustained a left soleus muscle injury. The centre-back felt discomfort during the first half of Thursday's Europa League match against Lyon and was substituted at half-time. The injury will rule him out of the upcoming fixture against Rayo Vallecano, with his availability for the post-international break match against Racing in Santander also uncertain.

Sarr will also miss Senegal's upcoming fixtures. Manager Matarazzo loses a key defender who has been performing well, with Zubeldia and Beitia set to cover his absence.
