Alexander Sørloth rises for the header to extend the Norway lead, 3-1

JUNE 12, 2022 • FOX SPORTS

Takes shot in loss Sorloth took a shot on target and created a chance in last weekend's 2-1 defeat against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Sorloth tallied four goals in 33 La Liga appearances (20 starts) this campaign, plus two more goals and an assist in the Europa League. The 26-year-old finally became a consistent starter up front for Sociedad for the last few months of the season, but his loan deal expires in the summer and Leipzig might want to utilize the big Norwegian striker next year, especially if Christopher Nkunku leaves.

Scores in win Sorloth scored one goal from two shots (two on goal) during Thursday's 3-0 win over Cadiz.

Impact Sorloth hadn't scored in 2022 until Apr 4 and now has three goals in his last six matches, this time helping La Real lock in their European qualification. He'll next travel to Villarreal, which are tied for the third-fewest goals conceded to forwards in the league.

Scores against Rayo Sorloth scored one goal from two shots (one on goal) and created one chance during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Sorloth has scored twice in the last four matches, something that he's done on one other occasion this season. Given how poor his team's attack has been, this could be a good time to capitalize on Sorloth if he keeps up the pace. Up next is a trip to Levante, which have conceded the most goals in the league.

Scores goal against Elche Sorloth scored a goal and created four chances in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Elche.

Impact Sorloth hasn't been very prolific this season for Sociedad, but on Sunday he headed in his first La Liga goal since October, and he also was a threat with his passing. Despite his goal drought, he has started three games in a row up front and will want to be back in the XI against Betis on Friday.

Takes two shots against Mallorca Sorloth took two shots and created a chance in Wednesday's 2-0 victory against Mallorca. He also won three of four tackles in the match.

Impact Sorloth was back in the starting lineup over Alexander Isak on Wednesday, and he put in a solid shift with a good defensive effort. Isak will likely be back at the weekend against Real Madrid, but Sorloth is proving a capable backup striker, even if he only has one goal in La Liga this season.

Starts in loss Sorloth failed to take a shot in 73 minutes of Sunday's 3-0 loss to Athletic Club.

Impact Sorloth has started in four of the last five matches across all competitions but has failed to put a shot on target during that time. Even when he's had chances to play, goals haven't come consistently enough to make him a worthy pickup. Up next is Thursday's UEL match against RB Leipzig before hosting Osasuna.

FEBRUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Shotless in draw Sorloth failed to take a shot in 64 minutes of Sunday's scoreless draw with Valencia.

Impact Sorloth started over Alexander Isak but neither was able to get much going in the contest. It wouldn't be surprising to see Sorloth end up back on the bench soon, as he's started in just nine of his 18 appearances this season. Up next is a visit from Granada.

Atlético out of Copa, Sevilla held in Spanish league race

Atlético Madrid has been eliminated 2-0 by Real Sociedad in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey

JANUARY 19, 2022 • Associated Press

Shotless in loss Sorloth created one chance in 61 minutes of Saturday's 2-0 loss to Real Madrid.

Impact Sorloth has gone scoreless in five straight starts and it's been eight games since his last goal in a La Liga match. While there aren't many options who could take his place in the lineup, this suggests that Sorloth isn't nearly as integral to the attack as Alexander Isak, so he may not add as much value without a massive change in form. Up next is a trip to Betis, which are tied for the fewest goals conceded to forwards in the league.

Takes two shots in draw Sorloth put two shots off target during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Athletic Club.

Impact Sorloth was active all night and even drew the penalty for Alexander Isak's goal, but that didn't stop him from getting pulled with one-third of the match left to play. As his numbers are still improving with one goal in his last two starts, he could be worth monitoring in a trip to Osasuna, which have conceded 15 goals in 12 matches this season.

NOVEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in win Sorloth scored one goal from one shot and created three chances during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Atletico Madrid.

Impact Sorloth has taken his time to settle in with La Real and now has one goal and one assist over his last two appearances across all competitions. Should this goal turn into better form for Sorloth, he could take advantage of a trip to Celta Vigo, which have conceded the most goals to forwards in the league.

In squad vs. Mallorca Sorloth (hamstring) is in the preliminary squad for Saturday's clash with Mallorca.

Impact Sorloth is back in the preliminary squad and could play Saturday against Mallorca. With both Sorloth and Alexander Isak in the squad list there should be decent competition up front, and Sorloth would likely play, though possibly off the bench.

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

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

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

Out against Stuttgart Sorloth (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's match against Stuttgart.

Impact Sorloth missed the opener against Mainz and remains out for game two. There's a deep depth chart at striker this season, so Sorloth will need to get fit and into form quickly if he's to make a legitimate impact on the season.

AUGUST 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful against Mainz Sorloth is in doubt versus Mainz on Sunday due to illness.

Impact While Sorloth hasn't been ruled out officially, it seems unlikely the forward will be fit in time to suit up for the season opener. The forward started just 13 of his 29 appearances last season but still managed to rack up five goals on 47 shots (18 on target), three assists and 18 crosses (two accurate). Even if Sorloth is deemed fit, he may have to settle for a spot on the bench behind Andre Silva and Christopher Nkunku.
