Girona vs Real Sociedad Match Preview: Key Absences and Implications

Match Context

The La Liga clash at Estadio Municipal de Montilivi in Girona kicks off on 2026-05-14. Girona enter the Regular Season - 36 round in 18th place with 39 points and a goal difference of -15, fighting against relegation. Real Sociedad arrive in 8th place on 44 points with a goal difference of -1, targeting European qualification.

Girona Availability

Girona face a lengthy absentee list. Juan Carlos (knee injury) is sidelined. Portu (knee injury) is sidelined. V. Vanat (injury) is sidelined. M. ter Stegen (hamstring injury) is sidelined. D. van de Beek (Achilles tendon injury) is sidelined. This removes depth across goalkeeper, midfield and attack, forcing rotation in several areas.

Real Sociedad Availability

Real Sociedad also have key issues to manage. G. Guedes (toe injury) is sidelined. A. Odriozola (knee injury) is sidelined. O. Oskarsson (suspension – yellow cards) is sidelined. I. Ruperez (knee injury) is sidelined. All absences are confirmed rather than doubtful.

Impact Summary

Girona, with 37 league goals, lose attacking and creative options through Portu, Vanat and van de Beek. Real Sociedad, who have scored 54 goals, are without G. Guedes and Oskarsson in forward areas, but crucially their top scorer Mikel Oyarzabal (15 goals, 3 assists) remains available, preserving their primary attacking threat.
