LAMELA AND LUKEBAKIO NEARING THEIR RETURN

Preparations continue for Saturday's home match against Real Sociedad, which kicks off at 14:00 CET. The squad were split into two groups during Thursday's session, alternating between the gym and the training pitch.

Erik Lamela and Dodi Lukebakio completed individual sessions as they look to build up their fitness having spent time on the sidelines. They will join in with the group in Friday's session.

Friday's training will be the final session before facing Real Sociedad at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
