Takefusa Kubo aims to reclaim status at Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad midfielder Takefusa Kubo is preparing for the upcoming La Liga season following a period of injury and fluctuating form. During a recent pre-season friendly against Chelsea, Kubo featured in the club’s new red third kit provided by JOMA. The kit's design drew significant attention from fans on social media due to its resemblance to Liverpool FC’s traditional colors.

Kubo, who suffered a left knee injury during the World Cup, has been working to regain his status as a key player for Sociedad. While he faced challenges in maintaining his presence in the squad over the last two seasons, he is expected to start in the season opener against Real Betis. Manager Pellegrino Matarazzo is looking for Kubo to provide stability and consistent performance to re-establish himself as an indispensable part of the team's attacking lineup.
