Imanol Alguacil on the injuries of Zubimendi, Zubeldia, and Oskarsson

Real Sociedad

Date of the Copa match

"I don't want to make excuses, and everything that is said about this is looking for excuses. I already said it back then, more unfortunate events have happened with the DANA for me to now complain about when they scheduled this match for us. To adapt, I was very calm. In my mind, it's certainly not the best, but that's it, we adapt, we are 21 players between the first team and the reserve team, and all we have to do is play a great match because it's an important tie. The Copa starts, and we want to reach it as we have done in recent years. Try to progress through the rounds to go as far as possible."

"Both Martín and Igor have good feelings, and they are doing alternative work. Surely both will be available for the weekend. The one who has fallen is Zakharyan, who I think had a small overload, it won't be many days, but he won't have time to be called up. Both Igor and Zubimendi are progressing well."

Oskarsson

"We will wait, but from what he says, it must be the soleus, you know how difficult it is to recover from it and how treacherous it is, so I understand that he won't be available for the weekend, but I don't want to jump to conclusions. Let's see when he arrives, because he hasn't landed yet and then the appropriate tests will be done, and we will decide based on that."

Lineup

"There is no doubt that considering where the players come from, we had to think and decide, and we have to have seven first-team players on the field, and that will condition the starting eleven and the possible substitutions. It's my responsibility and that of all the coaches when there are moments and matches like this. I have no doubt that if we are eliminated tomorrow, it will be because Jove was better, and we will have to congratulate them. But if we give our best version, both with the first-team players and those from the reserve team who are having a great season, obviously we have to win, but with the utmost respect and we have to prove it on the field."
