4th Real Sociedad star pulls out of international duty

Another member of the first-team ranks at La Liga outfit Real Sociedad has this week been forced to pull out of international duty with his country.

This comes amid confirmation that Luka Sučić will play no part in Croatia’s upcoming round of November fixtures.

As per a report from Mundo Deportivo:

‘Real Sociedad has reported that the midfielder has tonsillitis and will remain in San Sebastián during the international break.’

Sučić is not the only member of Pellegrino Matarazzo’s ranks suffering with a bout of illness at present, with Mikel Oyarzabal also dealing with tonsillitis, and Carlos Soler with a stomach virus.

Oyarzabal has since not linked up with Luis de la Fuente’s Spanish squad as a result, with Sociedad teammate Ander Barrenetxea having been forced to sit out the upcoming break owing to a thigh injury, too.

Elsewhere, the on-loan Mamadou Sarr will not link up with Senegal, either, whilst dealing with a muscular problem of his own.
