Hamari Traore - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Decent time when fit Traore started in nine of his 11 appearances while registering one assist on three chances created in La Liga.

Impact Traore saw his season majorly shortened due to injuries, starting in the first four games of the season, until a knee injury left him out until late February. He would then capture a few more starts to end the season, but was cautious with his return and placed in more of a rotational role. That said, he will hope to earn his starting spot back next campaign after he was a regular starter when fit, although he will have to earn that spot back from Jon Aramburu after he started in 28 games.

Unused Wednesday Traore went unused during Wednesday's Copa del Rey clash with Real Madrid.

Impact Traore was back in the squad after coming back from a long-term knee injury. The defender wasn't called upon, but the fact he's available, even for a cup squad, is a great sign that his recovery is progressing well.

FEBRUARY 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back in the squad Traore is back in the squad to face Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday after recovering from his long-term knee injury, the club announced.

Impact Traore suffered a torn ACL in early September and has now fully recovered, as he is included in the squad for the Copa del Rey match against Real Madrid on Wednesday. It remains unclear whether he will reclaim his starting right-back role, as Jon Aramburu has been impressive in that position this season. The two are likely to compete for the spot in a healthy manner.

FEBRUARY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Signs contract extension until 2026 Traore has signed a contract extension with Real Sociedad that will keep him at the club until 2026, the club announced.

Impact Traore joined Real Sociedad to assist in the development of young players with his experience. The club has shown strong confidence in the Malian defender by extending his contract during his recovery from a long-term ACL injury, which is expected to sideline him for at least another four months. Once fully fit, Traore will face healthy competition with Jon Aramburu for the right-back spot.

JANUARY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Diagnosed with torn ACL Traore was diagnosed with a torn ACL on Monday and will undergo surgery in the coming days, the club announced Monday. The right-back is expected to miss most of the 2024/25 season...

Impact This is undoubtedly a worst-case scenario for Traore, though manager Imanol Alguacil had already stated that his condition "looked really bad" after he left Sunday's draw against Getafe with the injury. Aihen Munoz could be an option to replace him for the time being, as Traore was expected to operate as the starting right-back for Real Sociedad when healthy.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Knee injury looks serious Traore injured his knee and subbed out in the 66th minute of Sunday's 0-0 draw against Getafe. According to manager Imanol Alguacil, "Traore's condition looks very bad."

Impact Traore is set for scans following a knee injury against Getafe. He could be sidelined for the next few weeks or more, depending on the results from the scans. He's started all four games at right back, totaling an assist with 11 tackles and 11 clearances. If the defender does get sidelines, then Aihen Munoz could be his replacement in the starting XI for Sociedad.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Assists at Espanyol Traore assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Espanyol.

Impact Traore created Takefusa Kubo's game-winner in the 80th minute with his first assist in the campaign. The right-back also led Real Sociedad in chances created during the match. He assisted only twice in 2023-24, so he's not expected to create too many goals in 2024-25.

AUGUST 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two chances created Traore generated one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Monday's 2-0 loss to Barcelona.

Impact In his first game back from a two-game injury absence, Traore registered a shot for the fourth time in five appearances. It also marked the second time he accounted for at least two chances created within his last four games played. On the defensive side, he picked up his 13th interception in 10 outings.

MAY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Monday Traore (calf) is on the bench for Monday's match against Barcelona.

Impact Traore is back on the team sheet Monday, ending his two-match absence after overcoming a calf issue. The defender should be expected to finish out the season in the starting role at right-back, as he has started in 31 of his 35 appearances this campaign.

MAY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still not ready to plsy Traore (calf) will not be an option for Saturday's clash with Las Palmas, per manager Imanol Alguacil.

Impact Traore is still feeling the affects of a calf injury and is set to miss his second match in a row. He's started the last nine matches played in a row, logging in 17 crosses (three accurate), 13 tackles, 12 interceptions and 12 clearances in that span. This will give ALvaro Odriozola another shot to start at right back for the team.

MAY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to action Traore registered two shots (zero on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Osasuna.

FEBRUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in squad Traore (AFCON) has rejoined the squad ahead of Tuesday's Copa del Rey clash with Mallorca.

Impact Traore missed the club's last four La Liga clashes while on international duty with Mali. Before departing, the right-back started in five of his last six matches, racking up five shots (zero on target), 11 crosses (four accurate) and 13 clearances. Traore figures to retake his place in the starting XI ahead of Alvaro Odriozola (knee) versus Osasuna on Saturday.

FEBRUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Playing in AFCON Traore will miss Real Sociedad's next two matches since he's at the AFCON with Mali.

Impact Traore was called up to defend Mali in the AFCON, and his return date will be determined by how far the team advances in the tournament. Alvaro Odriozola (hip) is expected to see most of the playing time at right-back while Traore is out.

JANUARY 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss next match Traore was handed his fifth yellow card of the season and will not be an option for Jan 13 trip to Athletic Club.

Available against Alaves Traore (undisclosed) is available for Tuesday's match against Deportivo Alaves after being listed on the squad list.

Impact Traore could avoid missing any time with his most recent injury after having two weeks of rest due to the international break, as he was listed on the squad list for Tuesday's contest. The defender could find himself in the starting XI against Alaves, as he has started in all but four matches this season. If he doesn't start but is selected to play, expect him to get a few minutes off the bench to at least test his legs after the knock.

JANUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Forced off after 23 minutes Traore was forced off in the second half of Thursday's 0-0 draw with Cadiz.

Impact Traore entered the match at halftime, but had to be replaced by Aritz Eulstondo after just 23 minutes on the pitch. The fullback has almost two weeks to recover before Sociedad's next La Liga fixture.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Logs assist versus Sevilla Traore provided an assist, created two chances, made three tackles (one won), two clearances and one interception and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 2-1 win over Sevilla.

Impact Traore was solid on defense, never getting in trouble and neutralizing most plays originated on his flank. However, his biggest contribution came on offense as he was credited with an assist to Umar Sadiq on his side's second goal. That was the second assist of the campaign for the right-back, who's still mostly reliant on what he does defensively for being relevant fantasy-wise.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Almeria Traore is fit and in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Almeria.

Impact Traore returns from a leg injury which kept him out of mid week action against Benfica. The fullback has provided one assist, created 14 chances and crossed 13 times in 12 La Liga appearances.

NOVEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Benfica Traore (leg) is out for Wednesday's match against Benfica.

Impact Traore will be sidelined for the first time this season, missing Wednesday's match due to a leg injury. The defender originally made the squad list and was expected to play, but the club must be taking the cautionary route by sitting him this match. He could be back for the weekend match against Almeria but could also be held out until after the international break.

NOVEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available Wednesday Traore (leg) is in the preliminary squad for Wednesday's clash with Benfica.

Impact Traore picked up a knock and was brought off against Barcelona. He is now available once more and is an option for Wednesday's clash with Benfica. The defender should slot back into the starting XI at right-back if he doesn't show any signs of the injury he picked up against Barcelona.

NOVEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Exits early with injury Traore left Saturday's match against Barcelona in the 63rd minute due to an apparent injury.

Impact Traore was forced off in Saturday's match after picking up an apparent knock to his leg. The defender seemed frustrated when being taken off, so it seems somewhat safe to assume that the substitution was more for caution than anything, and it is only a slight knock. He was replaced by Artiz Elustondo after being taken off, who will most likely fill in for Traore if he misses any time with the injury.
