Sarr (calf) remains unavailable for Sunday's La Liga clash against Rayo Vallecano after suffering soleus discomfort during Thursday's Europa League draw against Lyon, according to the club.
Analysis:Sarr is set to miss Sunday's encounter after failing to recover from the muscular problem that forced him off at halftime against Lyon. The center-back had established himself as a regular starter in Real Sociedad's defense, featuring from the opening whistle in each of the previous seven matches before his injury interrupted that run. His absence leaves coach Pellegrino Matarazzo needing to adjust his defensive setup, with Igor Zubeldia a potential replacement alongside Jon Martin in central defense. The severity of Sarr's injury remains unclear, although the upcoming November international break should provide additional recovery time before Real Sociedad's next competitive fixture.
