Ander Barrenetxea - On bench against Getafe Barrenetxea (back) is in Sociedad's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Getafe.

Impact Barrenetxea is back on the bench on Sunday, making his first La Liga appearance since suffering a back injury that sidelined him for a few weeks in September. He got some minutes in Thursday's Europa League draw, and he might get some more against Getafe.

Mathew Ryan - Concedes two in first start Ryan conceded two goals and made no saves during Thursday's 3-2 win over Granada.

Impact Ryan got himself the win, but was beaten by a corner and penalty in his first start for his current club. Don't expect Ryan to play with too much frequency, though he'll get the occasional start in a busy calendar when Alejandro Remiro needs a rest.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Joseba Zaldua - Logs five crosses in win Zaldua created one chance from five crosses during 77 minutes of Thursday's 3-2 win over Granada.

Impact Zaldua has only started in two league games this season and never played more than 79 minutes in a start, which he did in a UEL draw with PSV. Should he keep up his fitness in more notable ways than last season in which he made just five league appearances, Zaldua could become a useful asset on occasion.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Mikel Oyarzabal - Provides assist in win Oyarzabal provided one assist from four chances created on four crosses (three accurate) during Thursday's 3-2 win over Granada.

Impact Oyarzabal collected his first assist of the season by setting up Aritz Elustondo's opening goal. While Oyarzabal tends to score more often than setting up his teammates, he hasn't scored in either of his last two league starts, so one can hope this breaks him out of a relatively short duck. Up next is a visit from Elche, which recently conceded four goals in a loss to Villarreal.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Mikel Merino - Scores in win Merino scored one goal from six shots (four on goal) and created two chances during Thursday's 3-2 win over Granada.

Impact Merino led his team in shots taken during this match, which is a positive sign given some of the injury worries among La Real's attacking depth. He'll next face Elche, Which have conceded seven goals in six matches and recently gave up four to Villarreal.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Aritz Elustondo - Scores twice in win Elustondo scored two goals from two shots and won two tackles during Thursday's 3-2 win over Granada.

Impact Elustondo took advantage of some lax defending to get high up the field and score more goals in one game than he had in each of the past two seasons. This isn't likely to be a routine event, though he has kept three clean sheets in his last four league matches. Up next is a visit from Elche, which have scored four goals in six matches.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Sorloth - Comes off injured against Granada Sorloth was subbed out of Thursday's victory against Granada in the 76th minute after suffering a hamstring injury. He took three shots (one on target) and created two chances in t...

Impact It is unclear whether Sorloth will be forced to miss additional game time due to his injury, but he was only on the field on Thursday making his second of the season in place of the injured Alexander Isak, so Sociedad will be facing a problem at the forward position if both have to be sidelined. That said, hamstring injuries are rarely played on in a short week, so it'd be a surprise if he was available this weekend.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

David Silva - Likely out extended period Silva picked up a calf injury last week and is set to miss an extended period of time.

Impact It's unknown how long Silva will be out, but given his age and that's it a calf injury, an absence until the international break seems likely. He's struggled to stay healthy in the early campaign and his absence will likely allow for more time to Portu, among others.

Alejandro Remiro - Secures another clean sheet Remiro kept a clean sheet with four saves made during Sunday's scoreless draw with Sevilla.

Impact Remiro has kept his net empty in four straight La Liga matches since conceding four to open the season against Barcelona. With his next games coming against Granda and Elche, Remiro has a chance to extend what has been an impressive start for La Real.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Robin Le Normand - Keeps clean sheet in draw Le Normand kept a clean sheet with two tackles made during Sunday's scoreless draw with Sevilla.

Impact Le Normand has kept four straight clean sheet in La Liga, which have helped his team to three wins and a draw. As he doesn't put up massive tackling or block numbers, his value isn't tremendous, but these clean sheets can make him a reliable option if he can stay healthy. Up next is a trip to Granada, which will offer their biggest threat through Luis Javier Suarez.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Mikel Oyarzabal - Logs eight crosses in draw Oyarzabal provided eight crosses (zero accurate) to create one chance and took two shots (one on goal) during 58 minutes of Sunday's scoreless draw with Sevilla.

Impact Oyarzabal ran himself into the ground before Julen Lobete took his place on the pitch. Despite failing to find the net in this game, he'll next face a promising trip to Granada, which hasn't defended consistently early this season.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Sorloth - Shotless in first start Sorloth failed to take a shot in 74 minutes of Sunday's scoreless draw with Sevilla.

Impact Sorloth needs to do better than this, as he's the only healthy striker aside from Julen Lobete who's likely to be trusted in league games. With Alexander Isak picking up an injury in Sunday's game, Sorloth could be the featured option in Thursday's trip to Granada.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

David Silva - Out due to injury Silva is unavailable for Sunday's match against Sevilla due to a muscular injury in his right leg picked up during Thursday's training session.

Impact Silva had logged one assist in four appearances so far and it's unclear how long he'll be out. In his absence, more of the attacking burden will fall to Mikel Oyarzabal and Portu.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Isak - Leaves with leg injury Isak left in the first half of Sunday's match against Sevilla due to a left leg injury, according to Diario Vasco.

Impact Isak was replaced by Julen Lobete in this match, and it remains unclear if he'll be available for Thursday's trip to Granada. With no league goals scored this season, Isak has plenty of work to do and Alexander Sorloth could be the top striker in his absence.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

David Silva - Creates one chance at Cadiz Silva registered one off-target shot, one chance created, one tackle (zero won) and one interception in Sunday's 2-0 win at Cadiz.

Impact Silva had a quiet performance and couldn't do much on offense, before subbing off in the 79th minute. The midfielder has one assist in the season in four starts, but has yet to play the full 90. He will now have a tougher matchup hosting Sevilla on Sunday.
