Team News
Levante
Real Sociedad
- Striker Baba Diawara has said his condition is improving, after he scored twice in a friendly against Conquense, but admitted he is still not 100 per cent fit.
- David Navarro, Levante's resident defensive hard man, could miss the game after a back injury prevented him from training in mid-week.
- Christian Lell could face a lengthy lay off due to an ankle injury. Initial treatment has not worked and the club are discussing the possibility of him undergoing surgery.
- Ruben Garcia has returned to training following a knee injury, which comes as a big boost to Levante as he is one of their most important creative assets.
- Jagoba Arrasate rotated his squad heavily for both games that preceded his side's Champions League play-off games with Lyon, and may do the same ahead of the first group stage game, against Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday.
- The fact his side have not won since the first game of the season may provoke a rethink in this area, but the relatively weak opposition of Levante could tempt him into resting his best players.
- Last season's first choice striker Imanol Agirretxe has finally returned from injury and could make his first appearance of the campaign.
- Swiss striker Haris Seferovic has impressed in the Basque forward's absence, but Agirretxe may get the nod for this game, with Seferovic instead facing Shakhtar.
- In defence, Inigo Martinez is still injured with a thigh strain and Carlos Martinez is a doubt, but Mikel Gonzalez returns.
