Alexander Sorloth Nets Treble Off Bench As Atletico Madrid Thrash Girona
Alexander Sorloth showed once again why he is such a dangerous option off the bench for Atletico Madrid as he came on to score a hat-trick in under half-an-hour in a 4-0 win at Girona on Sunday in La Liga. Diego Simeone's side continued their Club World Cup preparations in a dead rubber league match at Montilivi, with Atletico locked into third place and Girona safe from relegation. Introduced in the 62nd minute for Antoine Griezmann, Sorloth broke the deadlock after 68 minutes.
Clement Lenglet extended Atletico's lead before Sorloth struck two more late on to reach 20 La Liga goals, 12 of those as a substitute.

Chelsea sign Liam Delap from Ipswich for £30 million ahead of Club World Cup

More from Football 'I understand the stature of this club and can see the trajectory it is on with these players and the head coach,' Delap told club media. 'It's going to be an incredible place for me to develop, and I hope to achieve amazing things here and help the club win more trophies.' Chelsea's first group-stage match at the Club World Cup, being held in the United States, is against Mexican club Leon on June 16 in Atlanta.

Players, staff or associated families with clubs participating in the 2025 Club World Cup, the 2026 Fifa World Cup or the 2028 Olympics could be exempted from the US travel ban. Section 4 of the order, outlines the exemption stating, "any athlete or member of an athletic team, including coaches, persons performing a necessary support role and immediate relatives, travelling for the World Cup, Olympics, or other major sporting event as determined by the secretary of the state" are not subject to the ban. The travel ban by the President is a reinstatement as earlier the Biden administration had repealed the ban on nationals from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen in 2021 calling it "a stain on our national conscience." Many countries such as Somalia and Venezuela have already responded to the travel ban. While the former pledged to work with the U.S. to address the security issues, the latter announced that living in the United States is a "big risk" and advised its citizens against being in the U.S.
