It was announced yesterday that star studded Real Madrid will visit Anoeta on 15th August to honour the centenary of Real Sociedad. It has also been revealed the visitors will not be charging a penny to play in a fantastic gesture to the cash strapped club and any much needed money raised will be kept by Real Sociedad.

After it seemed almost certain Xabi Castillo would be joining Racing Santander its been reported in the Spanish media that Xabi Castillo could make a sensational move to Athletic Bilbao and follow in the footsteps of Iñigo Díaz de Cerio. Athletic are looking for a left back and have been linked with Manchester City's former Real Sociedad full back Javier Garrido and Osasuna's Ignacio Monreal although from speaking to some Athletic fans the general opinion is Monreal would be the preferred option.

With Xabier Castillo suspended for this weekends match against Sevilla Atlético after picking up 5 yellow cards the left back slot is up for grabs and could see a rare start given to Boukary Dramé. The Senegal International is on a season long loan from French outfit FC Sochaux but a mixture of injury and Castillo's fine form have left the player looking on from the sidelines for most of the season.

There are two changes from last weeks squad as Carlos Martínez and Boukary Dramé replace the suspended duo of Rivas and Castillo. As expected, striker Aggiretxe has fully recovered from his tonsilitis and is in the squad.
Squad for Sevilla Atlético match:-
- Goalkeepers: Bravo, Zubikarai.

Coach Lillo gave his weekly press conference today and revealed he isn't obsessing about league positions and is concentrating soley on his next objective - beating Castellón. If Real Sociedad are to win on Saturday they will need to do it without Claudio Bravo and Sebastian Abreu who are both away on international duty.
