Injury Update on Take Kubo: Real Sociedad Confirms Muscle Injury

Real Sociedad has officially confirmed that Take Kubo suffered a muscle injury during the second half of the match against Barcelona, which necessitated his substitution. While the club has not disclosed the severity of the injury, reports suggest it is likely a significant tear in the left hamstring, which could result in several weeks of absence from the pitch.

The Japanese forward is expected to miss at least the upcoming LaLiga matches against Celta, Athletic, and Elche. It remains to be seen whether he will also miss the fixtures against Real Madrid and Oviedo, as well as the quarter-final match of the Copa del Rey scheduled to take place in Mendizorroza in early February.

The following is the brief medical report provided by Real Sociedad:

“Medical examinations conducted today by the Real Sociedad Medical Services on player Takefusa Kubo confirm a muscle injury to the hamstring of his left leg. His recovery will determine his availability.”
