Barcelona have began the new La Liga campaign well, winning big points from their opening three games while scoring 12 goals and conceding just two.
However, they’ll be in confident mood ahead of facing Real Sociedad, but historically, they have had their struggles on the road against them.
According to the club website, the Catalans have confirmed that Malcom remains sidelined along with Denis Suarez, Malcom and Samper because of injury, while Arthur returned late from international duty.
Philippe Coutinho would have reported back at the same time after playing for Brazil.
Time will tell how long Malcom will be out of play, as according to the club at the start of the month, the ankle injury that he sustained in training was only supposed to keep out of action for a week.
