Five shots Saturday Sorloth generated five shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Celta Vigo.

Impact Sorloth had plenty of chances at goal Saturday, finishing the contest with five shots. Though he put two on target, he was held without a goal, the first time this season where he has taken at least four shots and not scored. He'll look to bounce back Tuesday at Osasuna, a side which has conceded 45 goals through 35 matches this season.

Fit for bench Sorloth (hamstring) is on the bench for Tuesday's match against Arsenal.

Impact Sorloth was back in training this week, and that has led to his addition to the team sheet, although only as an option from the bench. The forward is likely to be called on later in the match to replace one of their attackers, although he could see time earlier if Atletico find themselves in a hole and needing goals quickly.

Joins travelling squad Sorloth (hamstring) is travelling with Atletico's squad for Tuesday's Champions League semifinal second leg against Arsenal, the club posted.

Impact Sorloth had been ruled out of Saturday's clash against Valencia as a precautionary measure to protect his hamstring ahead of the Emirates showdown, and his inclusion in the travelling squad is a timely boost for coach Diego Simeone. The Norwegian striker is a key piece of Atletico's attacking setup and having him available alongside Julian Alvarez gives Simeone his preferred options up front for what promises to be one of the most important nights of the club's season.

Impact Sorloth had remained an unused substitute against the Gunners as a purely precautionary measure, and the club is extending that caution into the weekend fixture with the bigger European picture firmly in mind. The Norwegian striker is a key piece of coach Diego Simeone's attack and Atletico will not risk any setback in a league fixture when the Champions League semifinal return leg is just days away. Thiago Almada and Alex Baena are expected to share the attacking duties against Valencia as the squad is rotated for the big fixture in London.

Impact Sorloth remained an unused substitute during Wednesday's clash against the Gunners but it was a purely precautionary measure rather than a genuine injury concern, and the club has no doubt he will be ready for the weekend according to the report. The Norwegian striker is a key piece of coach Diego Simeone's attacking setup and his availability for Saturday's La Liga fixture is a welcome confirmation for Atletico heading into the final stretch of the campaign.

Scores brace in victory Sorloth scored two goals to go with five shots (three on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 win against Athletic.

Impact Sorloth finished a nice association play with Alex Baena for the home side's second goal of the match in the 54th minute, and he continued to show his shooting ability, scoring again after finding himself alone against the keeper in stoppage time. Additionally, the five shots represented the striker's highest mark in his last nine league or UCL appearances. Having fully recovered from a minor discomfort, he'll likely have more opportunities to extend his momentum while sharing offensive responsibilities with Julian Alvarez and Antoine Griezmann.

Back in starting XI Sorloth (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Athletic Bilbao.

Impact Sorloth made a faster turnaround than initially anticipated after being ruled out for several days following the discomfort picked up during the Copa del Rey final defeat against Real Sociedad, with manager Diego Simeone showing enough confidence in his recovery to hand him a rare starting role. The Norwegian striker typically operates as a depth option off the bench, and his elevation to the first eleven underlines the significance of his recovery at such a critical stage of the season, with the Champions League semifinal against Arsenal looming next week. His availability alone had already been welcomed by Atletico, making his inclusion in the starting lineup an even more encouraging development than anticipated.

Makes squad Saturday Sorloth (undisclosed) has been included in the matchday squad for Saturday's clash against Athletic Club, the club posted.

Impact Sorloth had been ruled out for several days after picking up discomfort during the Copa del Rey final defeat against Real Sociedad, making his inclusion in the squad a faster turnaround than initially anticipated. The Norwegian striker is a key piece of manager Diego Simeone's attacking setup and his availability heading into the weekend is a timely boost with the Champions League semifinal against Arsenal looming next week. Whether he starts or eases back in off the bench will be coach Simeone's call, but having him available at all is exactly what Atletico needed at this stage of the season.

Could be fit for Athletic Club Sorloth (undisclosed) was spotted training Friday and could be an option for Saturday's clash against Athletic Club, according to Ainhoa Sanchez of Radio Marca.

Impact Sorloth had been ruled out for some days after picking up discomfort during the Copa del Rey final defeat against Real Sociedad, but his presence on the training pitch Friday is a more encouraging update than initially expected. The Norwegian striker is a key piece of Atletico's attack and getting him available for the weekend is a welcome development ahead of an even bigger week with the Champions League semifinal against Arsenal on the horizon. Coach Simeone will make a final call on his involvement after assessing how he comes through Friday's session.

APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers discomfort Sorloth (undisclosed) ended Saturday's Copa del Rey final defeat against Real Sociedad with some discomfort and is ruled out for the coming days, according to the club.

Impact Sorloth had replaced Lookman in the second half of the final before picking up some discomfort, and while the issue is only minor, Atletico will not risk him in the coming fixtures with the Champions League semifinal against Arsenal looming next week. The Norwegian striker is a key piece of coach Simeone's attacking setup and getting him fit for the European stage remains the absolute priority for the club heading into what is the biggest week of their season. Julian Alvarez will get a larger role in the front line for the Colchoneros until he returns to full speed.

Scores dagger goal Sorloth scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Barcelona.

This is his first goal in UCL play since Feb. 24, up to six goals in 12 appearances (five starts) in the competition.

Clears head scare Sorloth (head) trained fully Friday and is available for Saturday's clash against Barcelona, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Impact Sorloth had raised some eyebrows after taking a heavy blow to the head during the international break, particularly given his history with a concussion protocol back in January. But coming through a full training session on Friday without any issues puts him firmly in contention to compete for the role to lead the line against the Blaugranas on Saturday. Julian Alvarez and Antoine Griezmann remain ready to absorb more of the load if needed, but all signs point to Sorloth being good to go for one of Atletico's biggest fixtures of the season.

Impact Sorloth appeared in front of the media with a bandage on his forehead and was joking about the incident, which is about as reassuring a sign as you can get. The concern is heightened given that the Norwegian striker already went through a concussion protocol back in January following a serious head collision in the Levante match, making any repeat knock one to monitor closely. That said, all indications point toward him being available for Saturday's clash against Barcelona, with Julian Alvarez and Antoine Griezmann ready to absorb a larger share of the workload in the front line should he be held out as a precaution.

Scoreless in last four matches Sorloth has failed to score in Atletico's last four matches between the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.

Impact The Norwegian striker has been one of Atletico's most reliable scoring weapons all season long, but he's going through a bit of a dry spell with four straight games without finding the back of the net. That said, he still has 15 goals across 39 appearances between LaLiga and the Champions League in 2025/26, so fantasy managers should continue to trust him in most formats. That said, the fact that he's come off the bench in three of the last four games suggests a final call on Sorloth's availability is useful to fully maximize his upside.
