REAL SOCIEDAD NEWS

Brais Mendez - Busy in loss Mendez created five chances on six crosses (four accurate) and took three shots (one on goal) during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Real Betis.

Impact Mendez continued his exceptional form but it's not ideal when he and his teammates have been shut out in two straight league games. That being said, until Mikel Oyarzabal returns from his torn ACL, Mendez has one of the highest activity rates around and is far better at finishing his chances with seven goals and three assists in 17 matches between the league and UEL.

Alexander Sorloth - Creates one chance in loss Sorloth created one chance during 85 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 loss to Real Betis.

Impact Sorloth failed to take a shot in his return from a two-match absence due to illness. Increasing injuries have made things more shaky for Sorloth and his teammates, as he personally has scored just once in his last five matches.

Ander Barrenetxea - Injured again Barrenetxea is considered a doubt for Sunday's match against Real Betis, according to MARCA.

Impact Barrenetxea has missed each of the last two matches and hasn't even been available in nine of the last 11 games. If he can ever stay fit, Barrenetxea is a talented winger with plenty of potential.

Alexander Sorloth - Won't play Thursday Sorloth has been ruled out of Thursday's UEL match against Omonia due to a recurring illness, according to Marta Gonzalo of El Desmarque.

Impact Sorloth isn't the only player in the squad to be sick but his condition has kept him from maintaining his fitness. Pending his status by Sunday's match against Betis, Sorloth could be supplanted by Carlos Fernandez in the starting lineup for a second straight game.

Alexander Sorloth - Returns to training Sorloth (illness) participated in Monday's training session ahead of Thursday's UEL match against Omonia, according to Marta Gonzalo of El Desmarque.

Impact Sorloth was a late absence from Saturday's loss to Real Valladolid but evidently won't be out for long. When available to play, expect Sorloth to start over or alongside Carlos Fernandez on the forward line.

David Silva - Suffers thigh injury Silva has suffered an injury to his right thigh, his club announced Monday.

Impact Silva might be out for the final five matches until the World Cup break with a muscular injury. He had started in 13 of his 14 league and UEL appearances, a far better record than he had contributed in his first two seasons with La Real. There are a variety of possible replacements for Silva in the starting lineup with Asier Illarramendi and Robert Navarro offering more potential than most.

Alejandro Remiro - Concedes one in loss Remiro conceded one goal and made three saves during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Real Valladolid.

Impact Remiro was fortunate not to concede more goals if it weren't for a multitude of goals ruled out by VAR. As a result, he can return home with just two goals conceded in his last six games between the league and UEL. Though occasionally prone to major mistakes, Remiro will hope his good luck lasts until the World Cup break.

Pablo Marin - Debuts in loss Marin subbed on during the final stages of Saturday's 1-0 loss to Valladolid.

Impact Marin contributed to one of three goals ruled out after VAR checks during his debut in the first division. As another of many talented youngsters at La Real, he'll hope to eventually get his chance to shine as he progresses, though for now he'll primarily contribute in the second team.

Diego Rico Salguero - Logs 10 crosses in loss Rico created two chances from 10 crosses (four accurate) during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Valladolid.

Impact Rico has started three times in the last four matches and should continue to play now that Aihen Munoz is out with a hip injury. With just a few games to go before the World Cup break, Rico figures to get more minutes following some solid performances.

Brais Mendez - Takes five shots in loss Mendez took five shots (one on goal) and created two chances from nine crosses (two accurate) during 63 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 loss to Valladolid.

Impact Mendez certainly did his part but the chances just didn't go the way of he and his teammates. Since he's remained exceptionally active in taking set pieces and has recorded two assists in his last three games, Mendez should continue to have consistent value that could only rise if he and his teammates can score more goals.

Carlos Fernandez - Starts in loss Fernandez took two shots (one on goal) and created one chance in 63 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 loss to Real Valladolid.

Impact Fernandez may not have expected to start but Alexander Sorloth went down with an illness and opened up a spot in the lineup. As he hasn't exactly impressed but is still building up his rhythm, Sorloth should return as a starter when fit.

Take - Takes two shots in loss Kubo took two shots (both off target) during 74 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 loss to Real Valladolid.

Impact Kubo had a powerful strike ruled out after a VAR check, one of three ruled out during this game and of two against his team. He's logged just one assist in his last six league and UEL matches but judging by how he played Saturday, there should be something to look forward to from Kubo.

Alexander Sorloth - Out Saturday Sorloth didn't make the team sheet for Saturday's match against Real Valladolid after missing Friday's training session, according to Marta Garcia-Nunez of AS.

Impact Sorloth finds himself out of the team entirely due to an unknown issue. In his place, Carlos Fernandez gets the start up top with support from Takefusa Kubo.

Impact Cho has been out for all but one game in October and now appears to need a couple more weeks to regain full fitness, though the World Cup break means there's few matches to play until December. The return of Carlos Fernandez from his own long-term injury has helped to fill out the attacking depth chart.
