The final call will focus on whether he is fit enough to captain the hosts against the defending champions which will be left until the last minute.

The 27-year-old started Real Sociedad’s first three games of the season, before missing their final league match before the international break due to suspension, but he only has one league goal against Real Madrid in his club career in the Basque Country.
