Scores, comes off injured in win Sorloth was subbed out of Saturday's match against Athletic Club in the 49th minute after suffering a knee injury. He scored a goal in the 3-1 victory before being taken off.
Impact Sorloth opened the scoring Saturday with a deft touch to settle and slot home, but he had to come off early in the second half with a knee injury. He has netted in each of Sociedad's last four La Liga matches but he will be questionable for next weekend's clash against Rayo Vallecano, with Mohamed-Ali Cho (strain) or Mikel Oyarzabal options to replace him in the XI if necessary.

Impact Sorloth hasn't scored in five straight starts but is looking a little better with six shots taken (one on goal) in his last two games.

Impact Sorloth couldn't keep up his goal contribution streak for a fifth game but he still played an active role against a tough defensive opponent.

Should be ready Sorloth (undisclosed) should be available to play in Sunday's trip to Stuttgart, according to manager Domenico Tedesco.
Impact Sorloth picked up a knock late into preseason but this statement should at least prove it wasn't a serious issue. He's scored just nine league goals over the last two seasons and as a backup to Andre Silva, he's unlikely to play as much as he may want.

Picks up injury in friendly Sorloth suffered a bruised left foot during Thursday's friendly against Liverpool and will miss a week-and-a-half of training.
Impact Sorloth scored four times in a disappointing season on loan at Real Sociedad but will now miss a portion of conditioning for the coming campaign. Should he stick with Leipzig, Sorloth is likely to back up Andre Silva at striker but will get a bigger role if Yussuf Poulsen (thigh) remains injured himself.

Takes shot in loss Sorloth took a shot on target and created a chance in last weekend's 2-1 defeat against Atletico Madrid.
Impact Sorloth tallied four goals in 33 La Liga appearances (20 starts) this campaign, plus two more goals and an assist in the Europa League. The 26-year-old finally became a consistent starter up front for Sociedad for the last few months of the season, but his loan deal expires in the summer and Leipzig might want to utilize the big Norwegian striker next year, especially if Christopher Nkunku leaves.
