Real Sociedad sealed a vital 1-1 UEFA Europa League-equal game at home at Manchester United prior to the key trip to Old Trafford next week.
La Real will be confronted again on March 13 on March 13 with the side of Ruben Amorim after the penalty of Mikel Oyarzabal had sealed a draw in San Sebatian.
Imanol Alguacil labeled United as 'one of the best teams in Europe' after the game, because the hosts were a bit happy to allow a draw with the Red Devils better than their domestic form suggested.
The result was still made more striking when La Real reached it without the presence of Midfield Metronome Martin Zubimendi, who was a late withdrawal from the MatchDay team.
The Spain International was assessed as a doubt of 50-50 on the way to the game because of constant muscle fatigue and a fever ultimately excluded him against Amorim's team.
As reports from Marca, the 26-year-old has still not returned to the training, prior to a vital La Liga collision at home on Seville on March 9.
Alguacil will keep an eye on its progress in the next 24 hours with only one recovery session planned before he was confronted with Seville.
The current indication is that Zubimendi will have extra time this weekend and rest to increase his chances of making the trip to Manchester.
Real Sociedad will need him at full force for a busy few weeks of income, while looking at a European qualifying place in La Liga, progress by canceling at the quarter finals of the Europa League and Real Madrid in the semi -final of Copa del Rey.
Zubimendi will be determined to win a trophy in his hometown club before the end of the campaign with his future still under the research.
Arsenal is said to be ready to activate his £ 51 million release clause in June after the Star born in Basky was notorious against Liverpool coming last summer.
