Carlos Soler - Struggles in service Soler recorded one shot (one on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 3-0 loss versus Atletico Madrid.

Impact Soler wasn't quite as cross-heavy as his teammate Sergio Gomez, but he didn't log a single accurate service in his five attempts. If he can be more clinical, he should be able to get an assist against a Valencia team with a minus-9 goal differential so far in LaLiga.

Sergio Gomez - Poor showing in service Gomez had one shot (one on goal), eight crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 3-0 loss against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Gomez was inaccurate with his crosses and that showed in Real Sociedad's inability to threaten the Atletico Madrid net. The defender can be a massive fantasy producer against a Valencia side that has allowed 10 goals already in LaLiga play if he's more accurate while maintaining his crossing volume.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Alejandro Remiro - Concedes three late goals Remiro registered two saves and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Impact Eventually, Remiro and Real Sociedad's defense was unable to contain Atletico Madrid. The goalkeeper did concede three times but all the goals came after the 80th minute and one was in stoppage time. Remiro gets a bit of a reprieve with Valencia, a side that has scored just once in LaLiga play this season, coming up next.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Jon Martin - Returns from ban Martin is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for his club.

Impact Martin was serving a suspension as he missed Sunday's match against Atletico, but is now in the mix as Sociedad prepares for the next contest. He started in the four games leading up to his suspension, so it will be interesting to see if he earns that role back immediately. In his four starts, the club has one clean sheet.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Igor Zubeldia - Ruled out with discomfort Zubeldia (undisclosed) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Atletico Madrid due to discomfort, the club posted.

Impact Zubeldia remained a defensive anchor for Real Sociedad last season, starting 23 of his 25 LaLiga appearances at center back and racking up 149 clearances to go with 38 tackles, 22 interceptions and 13 blocks. This season, he started four of the five La Liga games and contributed 14 tackles, seven interceptions and 16 clearances, making his absence a real blow for the Basques. Luken Beitia should be the one playing in his spot against the Colchoneros, and Zubeldia's recovery timeline will continue to be monitored as the club's season progresses.

SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Unai Marrero - Strong display after surprise start Unai Marrero recorded eight saves and allowed two goals in Monday's 3-2 win over Elche.

Impact Marrero produced a strong showing despite conceding twice, making eight saves, five of them from inside the box, to keep his side in contention. He was handed the start ahead of Alejandro Remiro, a call that seems unlikely to be tactical considering Remiro had kept a clean sheet in the prior game, and more likely stems from rotation due to a busy fixture schedule.The performance should nonetheless strengthen his case for further involvement going forward.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Job Ochieng - Three goal involvements in start Ochieng scored one goal and assisted twice from four shots and three chances created in Monday's 3-2 victory over Elche.

Impact Ochieng made another start this season, his second of the campaign and the highest number of senior starts of his career, as Real Sociedad navigated a busy opening schedule that has seen the club look to fresh legs. He was the standout performer, contributing directly to all three of Real Sociedad's goals in the game. The performance likely earns him more minutes in the short term, though long term a regular starting spot is far from guaranteed with Goncalo Guedes, Takefusa Kubo and Ander Barrenetxea holding more experience and standing as the preferred options.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Carlos Soler - Records first league assist Soler assisted once to go with three crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Monday's 3-2 victory against Elche.

Impact Soler was a fundamental part of the Sociedad midfield last season with 26 starts, but the minutes have been harder to come by this time around. This was only his third start of the campaign and his previous outing lasted just two minutes, though he has gone the full 90 every time he has been named in the side. The midfielder created two chances here along with three corners and crosses and picked up his first assist of the season.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Luka Sucic - Scores late winner Sucic scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Monday's 3-2 victory against Elche.

Impact Sucic featured mostly as a rotation option last season, starting only 10 of his 22 appearances, but he looks to have won greater trust this season, already earning his fourth start in the opening five games. He rewarded that faith with a 90 minute winner in his best attacking outing of the campaign, registering four shots and one chance created. The midfielder now has two goals and has produced at least two shots and one chance created in four of his last five games.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Yangel Herrera - Nets first goal for Sociedad Herrera scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Monday's 3-2 win versus Elche.

Impact Herrera has established himself as a regular starter for Real Sociedad early this season, taking his fourth start in five games. The midfielder turned in one of his best attacking performances in his second season with the club, netting his first ever goal for the side in official play and taking three shots, his highest total yet.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Pablo Marin - Training with no limitations Marin (undisclosed) is training with the rest of the group and should be an option to face Atletico Madrid on Sunday, according to Imanol Troyano of Diario Vasco.

Impact Marin returned to partial training last week, but he's now training with the rest of the group without limitations. The central midfielder is likely to make the squad for Sunday, and if that's the case, he'd be in line to make his first competitive appearance of the 2026/27 season.

Jon Martin - Sees red card Monday Martin was sent off in Monday's match against Elche due to a handball.

Impact The center-back was given his marching orders in the second half for a handball in a sequence aided by the VAR, and that means Martin won't be eligible to face Atletico Madrid on Sunday. This is a huge blow for Real Sociedad, as the young center-back has been a steady presence at the back for the Donostiarra side. His next chance to play will come against Valencia on Sunday, Sept. 20, with Igor Zubeldia and Mamadou Sarr likely pairing at center-back Sunday against Los Colchoneros.

SEPTEMBER 6 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM

Jon Pacheco - Returns to matchday squad Pacheco is back in Real Sociedad's squad for Monday's La Liga clash against Elche after being omitted from the previous two matchday squads.

Impact Pacheco's return to the squad is a positive development after consecutive omissions had raised questions about his place in the defensive rotation. The center-back still faces increased competition following Mamadou Sarr's arrival, while Igor Zubeldia and other options remain available in central defense. His inclusion against Elche nevertheless gives Pacheco an opportunity to work his way back into the rotation and compete for minutes after his recent spell outside the squad.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Pablo Marin - Remains out despite training return Marin (undisclosed) will remain unavailable for Sunday's La Liga clash against Elche despite returning to team training after overcoming his physical issues.

Impact Marin has yet to feature this season and will now miss a fifth consecutive match, though his return to group work represents an important step toward making his season debut. The midfielder appears to have moved beyond the physical problem that kept him sidelined, but Real Sociedad are giving him additional time to regain the necessary conditioning before returning to competitive action. Carlos Soler and Luka Sucic should continue to see increased opportunities in central midfield while Marin completes his return.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Marchal - Appears from bench Marchal had two shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Thursday's 0-0 draw versus Celta Vigo.

Impact Marchal was welcomed to the field from the bench for a second match in a row Thursday, earning his third appearance this season. He would record two shots but failed to put either on target. He is up to three shots in his three appearances, still in search of his first senior team goal.

SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Gomez - Records seven corners Gomez generated nine crosses (zero accurate) and seven corners in Thursday's 0-0 draw versus Celta Vigo.

Impact Gomez got a lot of work on set pieces Thursday as he took most of Soceidad's corners, registering seven of their 11. He would also add one interception, two tackles won and four clearances, decent defensively. He sits as a solid option for a defender, as his attacking output proves to be enough to put him ahead of most others, especially after earning six assists last campaign.

SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Jon Aramburu - Whips in four crosses Aramburu registered one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Thursday's 0-0 draw versus Celta Vigo.

Impact Aramburu had a solid match all around for Sociedad on Thursday, recording a shot, two chances created and four crosses in the attack to go along with 51 completed passes. He would also contribute a clearance, two interceptions and seven tackles in the defense. This is his first solid match attacking, although he has proven to be solid defensively in most matches to open the season.

SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Benat Turrientes - Takes two shots Turrientes recorded two shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Thursday's 0-0 draw versus Celta Vigo.

Impact Turrientes would do well to put both of his shots on target Thursday, but was unable to find the back of the net. This comes as he also completed 42 passes, a decent match for the midfielder. He is still in search of a goal contribution this season, and will look to earn one soon, especially after not scoring a single goal last season.

SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Alejandro Remiro - Clean sheet against Celta Remiro had two saves and secured a clean sheet in Thursday's 0-0 draw against Celta Vigo.

Impact Remiro was able to stop both shots he faced on target on his way to a clean sheet for Socieded on Thursday. This is the goalie's first clean sheet of the season, taking four games to reach that mark. He faces Elche in their next match on Monday, a decent chance to earn a second straight clean sheet.

SEPTEMBER 3 • BLEACHERNATION.COM

Alejandro Remiro - Included in squad against Celta Remiro (shoulder) has been included in Real Sociedad's squad for Thursday's clash against Celta Vigo, according to the club.

Impact Remiro's inclusion is an encouraging sign after he suffered a shoulder and collarbone knock late in Saturday's win over Espanyol. The issue was not believed to be serious, and the goalkeeper has now been cleared to make the matchday squad. It remains to be seen whether Remiro is fit enough to retain his usual starting role or if Unai Marrero will get the nod in goal Thursday.

SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Jon Pacheco - Left out again Thursday Pacheco has been left out of Real Sociedad's squad for Thursday's clash against Celta Vigo, according to the club.

Impact Pacheco has now been omitted from the squad for a second consecutive match, with no injury reported, further suggesting that his absence is related to squad selection. The center-back appears to have slipped down the defensive pecking order following Mamadou Sarr's arrival and may struggle for regular minutes unless his situation changes in the coming weeks.
