Levante vs Real Sociedad Preview

The first team squad trained this morning in preparation for tommorow's game against Levante and the only change from last weeks squad is defender Boukary Dramé replacing the suspended Markel. It was though midfielder Gorka Elustundo might make the squad after being out injured but the game has come slightly too soon for him.

Squad to play Levante -

- Goalkeepers: Bravo, Zubikarai.

- Defenders: Carlos Martinez, Gerardo, Labaka, Ansotegi, Mikel González Castillo, Dramé.

- Midfielders: Estrada, Xabi Prieto, Aranburu, Rivas, Sergio, Mark, Moha.

- Forwards: Necati, Agirretxe.

Coach Lillo met the press yesterday in the build up to the game and described the players this week in training - "We look phenomenal". After missing out on four points in the last two games he was expecting to have to talk tough to the players but hasn't found it neccessary. He went on to describe the Levante squad as being "highly qualified, compact and well-armed."

If Real Sociedad expect to be in the top three at the end of the season it important they start turning draws into wins and learning to kill off teams when in winning positions and tommorow would be the perfect time to start.
