Takefusa Kubo
24-Year-Old
Real Sociedad
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kubo, similar to most on Sociedad, had a mostly disappointing 2024/25 campaign with five goals and no assists, down from seven goals and four assists the prior season. He saw the pitch plenty and didn't battle injury, but the production wasn't there in league play. At 24 years old, there's no reason to believe he'll have a repeat in the new season. Sociedad will have a new manager and some new faces on the pitch, but Kubo has shown many seasons that in case produce 10-plus goal involvements in 2,000-plus minutes.
Named on bench
Kubo (ankle) is named on the bench for Saturday's derby against Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Kubo returned to the bench after recovering from an ankle injury. Kubo had been dealing with the issue since September and played two matches through pain before being left out of the starting lineup in subsequent games. so it is not a surprise that he among the substitutes as the team takes a cautious approach, with his starting role in the coming weeks likely depending on how well he puts the injury behind him.
