Scoring against Barcelona at Camp Nou, provoked a sending off for a Barcelona player in the second leg. Alexander Sørloth has played himself up as one of the supporter favorites this season as well, after a terrific development in form since the new year. Atletico coach Diego Simeone praises the Norwegian international and reiterates how important the 30-year-old is to the club. It is therefore discouraging for Atletico supporters to hear the latest update on Sørloth.
On Sunday, the super striker could not save Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey final, Real Sociedad took the victory, a 2-2 game that had to be decided on penalties.

Sørloth was just under an hour on the pitch, on Monday Atletico reports that the striker ended the final match with “discomfort”.
-The club’s medical support staff has carried out tests that recommend great caution to avoid injury, Atlético Madrid informs on their website.
This means that Sørloth will not participate in the joint trainings in the future. On Wednesday, Atletico Elche will face in La Liga, on Saturday Athletic Bilbao awaits. We cross our fingers that “our man” has a speedy recovery. At the same time, we are grateful that the Atletico gang is showing caution. Norway needs a match-ready Sørloth in June.
Atletico supporters know they also need “their” Sørloth in the Champions League semi-finals and for the sprint in La Liga. So far, the Norwegian Viking stands with a solid 41 goals in 101 games, several as match-deciding goals.
