Ander Barrenetxea - Earns assist against Benfica Ander Barrenetxea assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Tuesday's 1-0 victory versus Benfica.

Impact Barrenetxea was able to gain his first goal contribution in the UCL on Tuesday, finding Brais Mendez in the 63rd minute for the game-winning goal. The attacker has had decent production in UCL so far this season, racking up five shots, five chances created and seven crosses to go along with his assist through three games. He has only been absent from the starting XI three times this season and should continue to be a decent nod for a goal contribution every match.

Alvaro Odriozola - Ruled out for Mallorca game Odriozola is missing from Real Sociedad's squad list to face Mallorca Saturday.

Impact Fernandez came off the bench to assist Mikel Oyarzabal for Real Sociedad's lone goal of the match after only tallying one goal involvement in 24 games with inly eight starts last year. He seems to be a rotational player up front but may earn more minutes with performances like this one.

Mikel Oyarzabal - Scores for third match running Oyarzabal scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Impact Oyarzabal is in fantastic form at the moment having scored five goals in his last five games. He had a down year last season with less than 12 goal involvements in the league for the first time since 2017 but looks well on his way to passing that mark in 2023.

Alvaro Odriozola - Available to face Atleti Odriozola is fit and in the match day squad to face Atletico Madrid on Sunday.

Impact Odriozola returns from a calf injury which has kept him out of Sociedad's last two matches in all competitions. Odriozola has yet to start a match this season playing just 63 minutes between an appearance in La Liga and the Champions League.

Alvaro Odriozola - Back in training Odriozola (calf) took part in training Friday, but is a doubt for Sunday's trip to Atleti, according to manager Imanol Alguacil.

Impact Odriozola is a doubt for Sunday's trip to Atleti after missing Tuesday's clash with Salzburg. The concern for the defender is a relapse of a calf injury he suffered during pre-season. While he has been active in team training Odriozola remains short of full fitness, and Alguacil was very clear about not wanting to risk aggravating the same injury with an international break right around the corner. Odriozola would likely see limited minutes even if added to the bench for Sunday's match.

Alejandro Remiro - Third clean sheet in a row Remiro registered one save and secured a clean sheet in Tuesday's 2-0 win against Red Bull Salzburg.

Impact Remiro made a single save to find his third clean sheet on the bounce. The goalkeeper has been in great form and has been buoyed by a stout defensive unit in front of him. Remiro will hope to add a fourth consecutive clean sheet in the final match before the international break.

Aihen Munoz - Solid in start Munoz generated one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Red Bull Salzburg.

Impact Munoz got the start with Kieran Tierney sidelined and showed why he opened the season as the starter. He might not have the attacking upside of Tierney but Munoz is a rock solid defender and has the ability to pile on some volume, with five clearances and three tackles. With Tierney out Munoz is in line for a nearly guaranteed role in the starting XI.

Ander Barrenetxea - Busy in win Ander Barrenetxea registered three shots (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Red Bull Salzburg.

Impact Barrenetxea was held off the score sheet but was still productive during Tuesday's win. The winger lined up in a more reserved role but still created a chance and popped forward for three shots during the win. Barrenetxea has been limited to around 60 minutes in most matches, which does limit his floor game-to-game.

Take - Assists Tuesday Kubo assisted once to go with two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Red Bull Salzburg.

Impact Kubo found a goal contribution for his third match in a row, and is now up to seven goal contributions in nine matches in all competitions. The winger is in flying form and has shown some good performances in a variety of different positions. Kubo could be rotated before the international break, as he has started all but one match in 2023/24.
