An outstanding player for Real Sociedad has been unable to participate in their Europa League match against Manchester United because he was “denied entry into the United Kingdom.”
During tonight’s match at Old Trafford, Sociedad and Manchester United will resume their rivalry in the second leg of the last-16.
After the 1-1 draw that took place in Spain the previous week, the tie is now evenly balanced.
The first goal was scored by Joshua Zirkzee, and then Mikel Oyarzabal scored an equaliser from the penalty spot.
Imanol Alguacil, the manager of Sociedad, has been dealt a blow as he prepares his team for a significant match. The match is scheduled to take place before the match.
As a result of the United Kingdom government’s refusal to grant Arsen Zakharyan a visa, the Spanish news outlet El Diario Vasco reports that he has not travelled with the team.
Due to the fact that the Russian was unable to travel with the rest of the team, it is said that he travelled to Paris on Wednesday with his teammate Hamari Traore.
In the event that he was granted a work permit at the eleventh hour, he would be able to participate in the match against Manchester United.
However, Zakharyan was compelled to stay in Paris while Traore travelled to Manchester because the United Kingdom granted his request for a visa of that country.
After returning to Spain, the player, who is 21 years old, was informed by his representatives that he would be available for their subsequent match.
“The important matches are coming up, and Arsen will be available for the next match against Rayo Vallecano.” They informed the Spanish newspaper El Diario Vasco.
Due to the fact that Zakharyan has been plagued by injuries throughout this season, he has only made four appearances across all competitions.
The attacking midfielder has scored a goal and provided an assist in his last two matches, including the Europa League knockout play-off victory that his team achieved against Midtjylland.
Ruben Amorim is also missing a number of players, including Mason Mount, Leny Yoro, and Harry Maguire, among others.
However, Amorim has confirmed that Manuel Ugarte will be attending the match against Sociedad.
“Mason Mount is too soon,” he said in his press conference prior to the match. “Leny Yoro has been dropped. This is not a role that Harry Maguire can play. I have high hopes that he will be available for Sunday’s Premier League match against Leicester City, which is his former club.
“Manu [Ugarte] is a member of the team, and I do not believe that anyone else will be returning.
“No, Yoro’s absence is not permanent,” the speaker said. The other game, Leicester, is not something that Leny is able to participate in.
