Real Sociedad's Zakharyan denied UK entry for match

Real Sociedad midfielder Arsen Zakharyan will miss the Europa League match against Manchester United after the UK government denied him entry. He traveled to Paris in hopes of obtaining a last-minute visa but was ultimately unable to join his team. Zakharyan's absence adds to Real Sociedad's challenges as they prepare for the second leg of the last 16, following a 1-1 draw in the first match. His teammate Hamari Traore successfully received a visa and traveled to Manchester. Zakharyan's representatives confirmed he will be available for the next match against Rayo Vallecano. The club expressed gratitude for the efforts made to secure his travel.
