The 25-year-old joined Sociedad on transfer deadline day as a replacement for Sweden forward Alexander Isak, signed by Newcastle last week for a reported £58 million.

More concerningly for Atletico, goalkeeper Jan Oblak was forced off with a leg injury late on.

“Hopefully it will be minor and the doctors will tell us in the next few days,” said Atletico coach Diego Simeone, whose side are at home to Porto next week in the Champions League.
