Big boost for Real Sociedad as Oyarzabal makes speedy recovery from injury ahead of Man Utd clash

Real Sociedad star Mikel Oyarzabal is almost certain to be in contention to face Manchester United in the Europa League after being included in the squad to face Getafe in La Liga.

The forward emerged as a doubt earlier this week when he was withdrawn late on in the 4-1 win over Cadiz in La Liga last Sunday.

Sociedad confirmed a hamstring problem and that he would be evaluated, with no timeframe set for his return.
