The Royal Society, unbeaten at the Reale Arena, will not be able to count on Mikel Oyarzabal in the Basque derby against Athletic Bilbao, but has a Alex Isak in top form after a spectacular October to remain in the lead, before playing many of their Europa League options against Sturm Graz on Thursday.
The match against the Austrians will not condition the line-up against him Marcelino García Toral’s team because this is a match that gives a little more than 3 points to the winner and because a crowd, which will almost fill the stadium, expects the best of their team against the eternal rival.
Isak has been a full month, He has scored goals with his national team, also with Real in Europe and finally managed to inaugurate his scoring account in LaLiga last day against Celta, a good sign that the Donostiarras will want to continue exploiting.
Above the temptation to play with the 2 giants, Sorloth and Isak, is another possibility but the skilled Januzaj, Nais or Barrenetxea also have options in the wide palette of Sheriff’s resources this season.
Possible wave of the Royal Society: Remiro; Gorosabel, Zubeldia, Le Normand, Muñoz; Zubimendi, Silva, Merino; Isaac, Sorloth or Januzaj and Portu.
The call for the derby. AUPA REAL !!!#RealSociedadAthletic | #AurreraReala pic.twitter.com/skF53yqGkf
