**San Sebastián, Spain** – Real Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil has announced his starting XI for tonight’s crucial La Liga clash against Leganés at Anoeta stadium (kick-off 9 PM local time). Facing a significant injury crisis, with Zubeldia, Becker, Traoré, Sucic, and Pacheco all unavailable, and seven players walking a tightrope with yellow cards, Alguacil has had to shuffle his pack.
With a Copa del Rey match against Real Madrid looming, tonight’s game against Leganés is vital for Sociedad’s European ambitions. Rotation is minimal, reflecting the team’s need for points.
The starting lineup features several key changes. Zakharyan earns his first start of the season, while Javi López is a new addition at left-back. Sergio Gómez retains his place on the left wing from the Betis game, and Zubimendi and Aramburu return from suspension.
**Real Sociedad’s starting XI:** Remiro; Aramburu, Aritz, Aguerd, Javi López; Zubimendi, Zakharyan, Marín; Take, Óskarsson, Sergio Gómez.
