Quique Sánchez Flores released the 19-player squad list of players who will travel to San Sebastian to play in the match against Real Sociedad at Anoeta Stadium on Sunday 21 at 9 pm. The big inclusion is the presence of defender Diego Godín, recovered after the appendicitis operation he had before the match against Almería. Diego Costa also returns to the roster after sitting out a one-game suspension against Osasuna. Not included in the squad list were Juanito, Sergio Asenjo and Camacho through coach’s decision.
