Ander Barrenetxea - Dealing with back issue Barrenetxea suffered a bone edema in his back, his club announced Tuesday.

Impact This isn't great timing for Barrenetxea, as he's one of the brighter young prospects on his club and has scored once and assisted on another through his first three appearances. With an injury will rule him out indefinitely, Mikel Oyarzabal may have to stick on the left wing instead of moving across the front line in different matches.

Alexander Isak - Takes two shots in win Isak took two shots (one on target), created one chance and sent in one inaccurate cross in Sunday's 2-0 win at Cadiz.

Impact Isak could not do much on offense, as he has yet to score or assist in the season. The forward started their last three games, but failed to play the full 90 in all of them. He will look to get on the scoresheet for the first time when they host Sevilla on Sunday.

Portu - Starts and sends in two crosses Portu took one off-target shot, created one chance, sent in two inaccurate crosses, made two tackles (one won) and one interception in Sunday's 2-0 win at Cadiz.

Impact Portu started for the second time in four appearances, but again was subbed off before the end. He had a quiet outing, but helped them earn the road win. The midfielder will now look to get the nod again when they host Sevilla on Sunday.

Aritz Elustondo - Assists in road win Elustondo assisted one goal from his only chance created, made one tackle (won), one interception and one clearance in Sunday's 2-0 win at Cadiz.

Impact Elustondo assisted Mikel Oyarzabal's opener in the 71st minute to help them earn three points on the road. The centerback had a quiet outing other than that, as they weren't really pushed by Cadiz's offense. They will now face a tougher matchup against Sevilla on Sunday.

Mikel Oyarzabal - Scores brace at Cadiz Oyarzabal scored twice from six shots, created one chance, sent in eight crosses (two accurate), made one tackle (won) and one interception in Sunday's 2-0 win at Cadiz.

Impact Oyarzaval was the man of the match, first scoring the opener in the 71st minute, before converting a PK in the 84th to seal the deal. The midfielder now has four goals in the season, but has yet to assist. He will look to get on the scoresheet again versus Sevilla on Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Alejandro Remiro - Keeps clean sheet in win Remiro made one save during Sunday's 2-0 win at Cadiz.

Impact Remiro wasn't really tested and made just one save during the match, earning his third straight clean sheet to pave their win. The goalkeeper will now look to keep the momentum when they host Sevilla on Sunday.

Barcelona forward Braithwaite to undergo knee surgery

Barcelona says forward Martin Braithwaite will need surgery on his left knee

Mathew Ryan - On bench Sunday Ryan (knee) made the bench for Sunday's match against Cadiz.

Impact Ryan is the backup to Alejandro Remiro and more likely to play in cup competitions than in La Liga this season. He underwent a small knee procedure over the summer and has now proven his fitness enough to play if needed.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nacho Monreal - Set for knee surgery Monreal will undergo knee surgery and is set to miss more time after prior treatment didn't work.

Impact Monreal has undergone a variety of injections in his knee, but none of them seem to be working, so now it's time for surgery. It's unfortunate for him, as this will likely set him back another few months, having already been out since March.

Mikel Oyarzabal - Quiet performance in win Oyarzabal had one off-target shot, won one tackle and drew one foul during Saturday's 1-0 win over Levante.

Impact Oyarzabal had a great chance in the 30th minute, when Aleksander Isak found him unmarked with a great through pass, but his shot went too high. The playmaker couldn't have any meaningful contribution afterwards and that led him to be subbed off in the 69th minute. He'll try to bounce back during Sep. 12 visit to Cadiz.

AUGUST 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Isak - Quiet performance in win Isak had one off-target shot, created one chance and sent in one accurate cross during Saturday's 1-0 win over Levante.

Impact Isak was kept at bay by opposing defenders during most of the match, with his only good moment coming in a beautiful through ball to Mikel Oyarzabal in the half-hour mark. The striker is yet to score this season and will try to open his account during Sep. 12 visit to Cadiz.

AUGUST 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Aihen Munoz - Makes five clearances in win Munoz sent in one inaccurate cross, made five clearances and one interception and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during Saturday's 1-0 win over Levante.

Impact Munoz couldn't be a factor on the offensive end and he was on the previous two contests, but made up for that on defense, pacing his side in clearances and helping his side to shut the opposition down for the second consecutive match. If Nacho Monreal (knee) isn't able to return for Sep. 12 visit to Cadiz, Munoz will probably remain in the starting XI.

AUGUST 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Aritz Elustondo - Makes four clearances in win Elustondo made one tackle (won), four clearances, one interception and one block while helping his side to keep a clean sheet during Saturday's 1-0 win over Levante.

Impact Elustondo had a superb performance at the heart of the defense, always clearing the danger when called into action and being a key factor for his side to shut the opposition down. Up next for the centre back is Sep. 12 visit to Cadiz.

AUGUST 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Alejandro Remiro - Keeps clean sheet in win Remiro made zero saves and kept a clean sheet during Saturday's 1-0 win over Levante.

Impact Remiro wasn't tested during the entire match, with the opposition failing to have a single shot on target. This was the second consecutive clean sheet for the goalkeeper and he'll try to make it three in-a-row during Sep. 12 visit to Cadiz.

AUGUST 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

David Silva - Provides assist in win Silva made an assist, had one shot on goal, created one chance and drew two fouls during Saturday's 1-0 win over Levante.

Impact Silva wasn't brilliant as he's used to be, but had a decisive contribution here, assisting Ander Barrenetxea for the goal that gave his side the win in the 42nd minute. This was the first assist of the season for the veteran playmaker and he'll try to keep serving his teammates during Sep. 12 visit to Cadiz.

AUGUST 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ander Barrenetxea - Scores winner against Levante Barrenetxea scored a goal off his lone shot, sent in four inaccurate crosses and drew four fouls during Saturday's 1-0 win over Levante.

Impact Barrenetxea was the hero for Real Sociedad here, scoring the lone goal of the match in the 42nd minute after a nice one-two combination with David Silva on the left flank. This was the first goal of the season for the starlet and he'll try to keep it up during Sep. 12 visit to Cadiz.

Igor Zubeldia - Back in squad Zubeldia (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Levante.

Impact Zubeldia returns to the squad Saturday albeit in a bench role after missing the first couple matches of the season. He's been a regular the last few seasons and once he returns to full health, he should contend for starts on the back line.

AUGUST 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jon Guridi - Picks up training injury Guridi picked up a grade 2 injury to his quadriceps during Friday's training session.

Impact Guridi doesn't have a definite timeline for his return, as the process will be "progressive, depending on the evolution of the process". The midfielder wasn't a huge fantasy contributor, but was looking to break into the starting XI, something that will likely be heavily delayed now.

AUGUST 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Sorloth - Joins Real Sociedad on loan Sorloth (illness) will link up with Real Sociedad on loan from RB Leipzig for the 2021-22 season.

Impact Sorloth is coming off a decent 2020-21 season with Leipzig in which he garnered five goals on 47 shots (18 on target) in 29 domestic appearances. The addition of Andre Silva in the offseason would likely have made starts even hard to come by for Sorloth, so his move to another club certainly makes sense. Sorloth should challenge for starts with Sociedad but may not be able to unseat Alexander Isak or Adnan Januzaj.

AUGUST 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Isak - Attempts two shots Isak recorded two shots (both on goal) during a 1-0 win Sunday versus Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Considering Isak recorded 42 shots on target across 34 appearances during the 2020-21 La Liga season, his most recent statistical output was a welcoming one despite no goals. He could be an adequate option when Real Sociedad hosts Levante next Saturday.

AUGUST 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Mikel Oyarzabal - Records versatile stat line Oyarzabal recorded one goal with five shots (three on goal), four corners and four chances created during a 1-0 win Sunday versus Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Oyarzabal recorded more shots, corners and chances created than any of his Real Sociedad teammates. His ability was rewarded with a penalty-kick opportunity that he successfully scored. Oyarzabal recorded one goal during both of his last two appearances.
