Forward Jeremie Frimpong and midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai were both forced off the pitch during the match. Szoboszlai suffered a repeat of the hamstring injury he picked up during the international break, while Frimpong reportedly cramped up after playing against 10 men in a previous game. Manager Andoni Iraola revealed that Szoboszlai's injury was not new, but it was not fully healed, meaning he will be sidelined for an extended period. Frimpong's injury, on the other hand, was a fresh one, possibly due to cramping the previous day.
