Real Sociedad has suffered a blow ahead of their crucial La Liga match against Real Madrid, with left-back Kieran Tierney ruled out due to injury. The Scottish defender, on loan from Arsenal, sustained an adductor muscle injury during Wednesday’s training session.

Sociedad’s official statement confirms that Tierney has started physiotherapy, but his return date remains uncertain. The club states that his recovery will “depend on the characteristics of the injury and the clinical evolution.”

This untimely injury means Tierney will miss Friday’s high-stakes fixture against Real Madrid at Anoeta. There’s also the possibility he could be sidelined for additional upcoming matches.

In Tierney’s absence, Javi Galán is expected to step into the left-back role against Real Madrid.
