Castellón vs Real Sociedad Build Up

Coach Lillo gave his weekly press conference today and revealed he isn't obsessing about league positions and is concentrating soley on his next objective - beating Castellón. If Real Sociedad are to win on Saturday they will need to do it without Claudio Bravo and Sebastian Abreu who are both away on international duty. "If there is no law that says that they were going to win, there is no law that says that without them we will not do so. They are the same odds." Lillo also declared he has full faith in Zubikarai who will deputise in goal.

There was more bad news today for midfielder Gorka Elustundo as it was revealed he suffered a partial rupture of the internal lateral ligament and medial ligament in his right knee in training yesterday. This latest injury will rule him out for the rest of the season. Although surgery is not required he can undergo current cell therapy treatments to speed up the recovery but i'm sure fans will share my hope for a speedy recovery as his season has been ruined by injury this year.

Earlier this week a Spanish newspaper reported that Iñigo Díaz de Cerio had signed a pre-contract agreement with bitter rivals Athletic Bilbao but on Tuesday President Jokin Aperribay met the press and denied this - "I have no confirmation. For now, the talks remain open. We have already stated that Diaz de Cerio and Xabier Castillo have offers from Real and we are waiting for answers".
