Sørloth Back on Training Field

The 30-year-old Norwegian striker, who suffered an injury in early August, trained alone with rehabilitation specialists Oscar Pitillas and Esteban Arevalo. Sørloth completed some quick tempo changes and light ball touches without visible problems. palladian.co.za

While he was never considered for the national team during the recent Nations League matches, his apparent progress suggests he's approaching his season debut. The first opponent after the international break will be Alavés, though the probability of an early comeback will be easier to assess once he joins normal training sessions with teammates. Atlético initially expected him to be sidelined for three weeks, but the recovery process has proven more complicated.
