Alejandro Remiro - Six saves in loss Remiro made six saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Real Madrid.

Impact Despite taking the loss, Remiro put up a decent performance Sunday, totaling six saves. He now has 20 in the last five matches while also allowing seven goals. The keeper will face off against Inter Milan in the next match on Wednesday, who have scored 17 goals in the last five games.

Carlos Fernandez - Suspended for first UCL match Fernandez is suspended for Wednesday's match against Inter Milan after picking up a red card in last season's Europa League campaign.

Impact Fernandez will miss the first match of this year's UCL campaign after picking up a red card in the final match of last year's Europa League group stage against Roma before being eliminated. Sociedad will not be happy to be losing the striker for this game as he has been one of their mainstays in the starting XI this season. Expect Mikel Oyarzabal, Mohamed-Ali Cho or Ander Barrenetxea to start in his place.

Umar Sadiq - Available Sunday Sadiq (knee) is available off the bench for Sunday's match against Real Madrid.

Impact Sadiq has yet made the starting XI for the team, coming off the bench the last for appearances while totaling just six shots (one on target) thus far.

Umar Sadiq - Makes squad for Sunday Sadiq (knee) is on the squad for Sunday's game against Real Madrid.

Impact The striker couldn't train at the beginning of the week and was doubtful for this matchup against Real Madrid, but it seems he's healthy enough to earn a spot on the bench at least. The striker has yet to start in the 2023/24 campaign, however, and he's not expected to play a prominent role Sunday.

Umar Sadiq - Unable to train Sadiq (knee) was unable to train and is a doubt for Sunday's trip to Madrid, Diario Vasco reports.

Impact Sadiq is set to spend another match on the sideline as he struggles with the knee he underwent an operation on. The forward has appeared in all four matches to open La Liga but has yet to get a start.

Arsen Zakharyan - Settling into new surroundings Zahkaryan has come off the bench in his two league appearances with Real Sociedad, racking up one chance created, two crosses, one tackle and one clearance across 26 combined minut...

Impact Zakharyan signed with Real Sociedad from Dinamo Moscow in late August and made his club debut less than a week after his official arrival. Unsurprisingly, he has struggled to adjust to Spain after spending his previous years in a completely different environment in Russia. Zakharyan has tons of potential, however, so he should get plenty of chances to continue playing, though he has a crowded path at making the starting XI in the short-term future.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Carlos Fernandez - Has not scored so far Fernandez has started in three of Real Sociedad's four matches this season but has yet to score, racking up four shots (one on target), six tackles and three clearances.

Impact Fernandez started and led the attacking line in the first three matches of the league campaign, but his subpar production caused him to be an unused sub during the 5-3 win over Granada on Sep. 2. Mikel Oyarzabal can play as a striker and Umar Sadiq has given decent, yet inconsistent, moments off the bench, so Fernandez needs to make an impact when he has another chance of starting, because otherwise, he might be forced to settle for a backup role at best as the season progresses.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Aihen Munoz - Opens season as starter Munoz has started three of Real Sociedad's four league matches this season, racking up one assist, one shot, four chances created, seven crosses, seven tackles, 11 clearances and t...

Impact Munoz secured an assist in the season opener and started the next two matches, but he moved to a bench role as soon as Kieran Tierney was ready to debut. It wouldn't be shocking if Munoz ended up playing as a backup throughout most of the 2023/24 season, with Tierney getting most of the starts on the left side of the defense.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kieran Tierney - Starts in Sociedad debut Tierney started and played 69 minutes in his Real Sociedad debut against Granada on Sep. 2, racking up one inaccurate cross, one tackle and 32 passes.

Impact The Scotland international secured a season-long loan move to Sociedad after being deemed surplus to requirements at Arsenal, and the fact that he started in his debut suggests he could play a prominent role for the Donostiarra side. Tierney will compete with Aihen Munoz for the starting left-back role, though it wouldn't be surprising if he secures the starting role as the campaign progresses.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Umar Sadiq - Yet to start this season Sadiq has come off the bench in each of Real Sociedad's first four matches of the 2023/24 season, racking up six shots (one on target) and one chance created.

Impact Sadiq has logged over 25 minutes in two of his four appearances and has yet to find the back of the net. The fact that three of his six shots came during an 11-minute cameo against Granada on Sep. 2 suggests he's also not doing much with his time on the pitch. Under that scenario, and considering Real Sociedad have more options for the striker role, Sadiq is not likely to play a prominent role, let alone secure a regular starting position, any time soon.

Alejandro Remiro - Poor outing, concedes three Remiro had three saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 5-3 win against Granada.

Impact Remiro didn't have a lot of work, but it's hard to see him having any responsibility in the three goals he conceded as well -- two were one-on-one sequences, and the other one was an own goal. Despite the subpar outing, Remiro should remain in the starting lineup for Sociedad's upcoming matches after the international break.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mikel Oyarzabal - Credited with assist in win Oyarzabal assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-3 victory over Granada. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 54th minu...

Impact Oyarzabal has struggled to secure a starting role with Real Sociedad this season based on how good the team has been playing, but the winger has left glimpses of his talent every time he's managed to see action. He delivered an impressive backheel assist in this one, but he faces a crowded path at starter-level minutes right now with Sociedad's attack firing on all cylinders.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ander Barrenetxea - Scores goal Saturday Ander Barrenetxea scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-3 victory over Granada.

Impact Barrenetxea scored probably the most beautiful of Sociedad's five goals, as he broke the lines from midfield and took advantage of a backheel from Mikel Oyarzabal to slot the ball home past Raul Fernandez in a one-on-one sequence. This was Barrenetxea second goal of the season, and both have come across his last three starts.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Brais Mendez - Delivers two assists in win Mendez assisted twice to go with two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 5-3 victory against Granada.

Impact Mendez set up Real Sociedad's first goal with a delightful through ball to Takefusa Kubo, and he doubled his personal tally when he set up Martin Zubimendi's outside-of-the-box strike in the early stages of the second half. Mendez already has two assists and 10 chances created through four starts in 2023-24.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Martin Zubimendi - Hits impressive strike in win Zubimendi scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 5-3 victory over Granada.

Impact Zubimendi is not known for breaking the lines and pushing forward, but he found himself at the edge of the box and with acres of space to drill an unstoppable shot for Raul Fernandez. Zubimendi should remain a regular starter for Sociedad going forward, and while he's not going to score goals on a consistent basis, he plays a vital role in midfield while operating more defensively compared to the likes of Brais Mendez or Ander Barrenetxea.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hamari Traore - Assists, takes two shots Traore assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 5-3 victory against Granada.

Impact Traore was credited with an assist in Real Sociedad's second goal, though his lone merit was passing the ball to Takefusa Kubo, who did all the rest with a cut inside and a superb definition into the far post. Traore gets most of his value from defensive stats, but he has also shown the ability to move forward when given the chance. He has racked up eight chances created in four starts so far in league play.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Take - Scores twice against Granada Kubo scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-3 victory against Granada.

Impact The Japanese star needed just nine minutes to score the opener following an excellent through ball from Brais Mendez, and he restored his team's lead to 2-1 late in the first half. Kubo became the all-time leading scorer among Japanese players in La Liga, but he's also enjoying an excellent start to the campaign with three goals, one assist and eight shots so far.
