Bukayo Saka - Unlikely to start vs. Ghana Saka is unlikely to start against Ghana on Tuesday, according to Craig Hope of The Daily Mail.

Impact Saka came off the bench against Croatia and recorded an assist, but he's not ready to start yet, meaning Noni Madueke could keep his place on the right side of the attack. Saka should be a starter when healthy, but it seems Thomas Tuchel is being extremely cautious with Saka's fitness levels, at least in the early stages of the tournament.

Gabriel Magalhaes - Ready for Haiti match Gabriel (groin) is an option for Friday's match against Haiti, the player told Murilo Borges of ESPN. "I'm very well physically. I had a long season, of many games, but I feel good...

Impact Gabriel is set to be an option and start heading into Friday's contest after some questions about his health, as the defender has shaken off the fatigue that led him to limited training Wednesday. This is major news for the team as they try to bounce back from the opening match draw, as he is set to start alongside Marquinhos in the middle of the defense. They could take him off the field later in the match to save legs as they prepare to face Scotland, although he should remain a starter for Brazil as the tournament moves forward

Impact Gabriel led Brazil in clearances during the opening draw against Morocco, and coach Carlo Ancelotti has not yet confirmed whether Danilo will replace him in the lineup as the medical staff monitor his fitness. The Arsenal center-back arrives off a major club season that included a Premier League title and a strong Champions League campaign, and Brazil will be cautious not to risk any setback with his workload heading into the rest of the tournament.

Bukayo Saka - Substitute, earns assist Saka recorded one assist on one chance created in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Croatia.

Impact Saka would not enter the match until the 72nd minute Wednesday, as the team continues to be cautious with his return after some Achilles pain. He would find some decent work in his short appearance, as he found Maruc Rashford in the 85th minute for the final goal of the match and an assist. Saka will now eye a starting role as they head into their next contest against Ghana, likely to ramp up the minutes as they close in on knockout stage action after the key opening match victory.

Declan Rice - Corner kick leads to assist Rice recorded one assist on four chances created to go along with eight corners in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Croatia.

Impact Rice had himself a great opening match Wednesday, earning an assist on the second goal of the match when he found the head of Harry Kane off a corner kick. He would add so much more in the attack with a shot, four chances created and nine crosses, although the assist was his only goal contribution. He was also the only England player to take a corner Wednesday with eight, a huge addition to his value.

Noni Madueke - Starts against Croatia Madueke recorded one shot, a cross and two chances created in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Croatia.

Impact Madueke was called on to start in the opener Wednesday after Bakayo Saka was left on the bench to start after some recent Achilles issues, recording a 72-minute shift on the right. He would see some decent work on the flank in the one-on-one game while having numerous touches in the opposing box, even earning England's penalty. However, his starting spot is unlikely to stick throughout the entire tournament as Saka should claim that role in future matches.

Martin Odegaard - Assists from corner Odegaard assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 4-1 victory versus Iraq.

Impact Odegaard took only one of Norway's five corners as Julian Ryerson handed most of the set piece responsibilities elsewhere, but his one delivery proved decisive, picked out by Leo Ostigard for the assist. Beyond that, the captain was not heavily involved as an attacking threat, with the corner standing as his only chance created in the game and just one shot from outside the box to his name. His role in building play to break down Iraq's defense should not be overlooked, however, as he completed 41 of his 42 passes.

William Saliba - Four clearances in opener Saliba registered four clearancesand one interception in Tuesday's 3-1 win against Senegal.

Impact Saliba was one of the few bright spots for France alongside Dayot Upamecano in a back line that looked shaky and out of sync during a sloppy first half, with Senegal creating the better chances early on, including Ismaila Sarr's missed close-range opportunity in stoppage time. He found his footing as the match wore on and helped bring stability to the defense as France took control after the break and cruised to a comfortable victory. Saliba's leadership and composure at the back will remain key as France look to carry the momentum from this opening win into their next group-stage match.

Leandro Trossard - Records three shots Trossard recorded three shots (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and three chances created in Monday's 1-1 draw against Egypt.

Impact Trossard was Belgium's most active wide threat in Monday's 1-1 draw with Egypt, registering three shots, one accurate cross and a consistent presence down the right flank that repeatedly created half-chances his side were unable to convert in a frustrating first half where they fell behind to Emam Ashour's long-range strike. The Arsenal winger drove at Egypt's backline on multiple occasions and created the clearest Belgian opportunity of the first half with a driven effort that was blocked just inside the area, but was ultimately unable to provide the decisive contribution his side needed against a resolute Egyptian defensive block. His ability to create danger from the right side and arrive into the box late will remain central to Belgium's attacking structure, and improving his shot accuracy against a deeper block will be essential when they face Iran.

Piero Hincapie - Difficult task in loss Hincapie recorded one shot (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Cote D'ivoire.

Impact Hincapie faced the toughest assignment among the Ecuador defense, getting dribbled past multiple times on the left flank against Yan Diomande of Cote d'Ivoire. Most of the Cote d'Ivoire attacking pressure was directed toward his side, yet he remained close to contributing to a clean sheet before Amad Diallo scored a 90th-minute winner. Going forward, Hincapie showed some upside attempting crosses, though little came from them. His next match against Curacao, who lost 7-1 to Germany in their opener and are the smallest country to ever qualify for the World Cup, presents a significantly more favorable matchup.

Impact Saka is heading into England's World Cup opener ready for action, appearing to have no limitations as he takes the field. With England's opener possibly the toughest of their group stage, this is huge news for the team, as Croatia will be no easy feat. He will be tasked with running the flank and is one of the best odds of any England attacker to earn a goal contribution, hoping to get the tournament off right as England looks for World Glory.

Viktor Gyokeres - Strikes and assists versus Tunisia Gyokeres scored one goal and assisted once from five shots (two on target) and four chances created in Sunday's 5-1 victory versus Tunisia.

Impact Gyokeres successfully linked up with his partner in crime, Alexander Isak, twice, as he sprung his teammate loose on a counter ahead of Sweden's second goal. Isak returned the favor early in the second half after pickpocketing a defender deep into enemy territory, leading to a comfortable strike in a one-on-one with the goalie. Gyokeres was highly effective offensively and led his team in both shots and chances created. He registered 19 goals and two assists in 49 games with Arsenal in 2025/2026.

Kai Havertz - Brace in opener Havertz recorded two goals on four shots in Sunday's 7-1 win over Curacao.

Impact Havertz had a highlight performance Sunday, as the German forward recorded a goal from the penalty spot in stoppage time of the first half before netting the final goal of the game in the 88th minute, earning a brace. He would do this on four shots, with only his two goals being his lone shots on net. This is a bright sign for the future as Germany looks to make a run, although he is being closely trailed by Deniz Undav after he recorded two assists and a goal after entering the match. Havertz should still maintain the starting role, an influential piece for the squad.

Gabriel Magalhaes - Makes six clearances vs Morocco Gabriel recorded one tackle (zero won) and six clearances in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Morocco.

Impact Gabriel was beaten by Ismael Saibari in Morocco's opener, but led Brazil in clearances to help them avoid what would be their first World Cup debut loss since 1934. The Arsenal centerback also made the most blocks (two) and won the second most aerials (two) for his side. He's coming from a major role in his club during the Premier League title and the Champions League great campaign.
