Marín will not travel with Real Sociedad to Málaga next Sunday. Sent off against Deportivo after an incident involving Nsongo in the penalty area that brought a penalty regarded as questionable, he will miss the team’s next league match. His absence further complicates matters at right-back, already a problem position for the side.
The match against Deportivo was Marín’s first appearance this season, following an injury and then a relapse. Matarazzo had selected him on the right after he arrived in time to replace the injured Aramburu and Héctor Fort, who lacked match rhythm and had yet to recover fully.
A possible return for Marín at full-back in Europe on Thursday remains to be seen. For Sunday’s game in Málaga, the American coach will have to find another solution. Zubeldia could be an option: he has played in that position against Real Madrid and has also just recovered from an injury that kept him out for a month.
