Raphinha - Could return in quarter-finals Raphinha has returned to on-field training for the first time since suffering a grade one hamstring strain against Haiti, but will miss Sunday's round of 16 clash against Norway as...
Impact Raphinha has been undergoing three personalized rehabilitation sessions per day while remaining in New Jersey as the squad travelled for their matches against Scotland and Japan, and coach Carlo Ancelotti is unwilling to rush his return given his recent history with hamstring issues. His availability will now depend on whether Brazil advance to the quarter-finals, where he could potentially be available against Mexico or England as early as July 11.

Yamal vs. Ronaldo Part 2: Spain And Portugal To Meet In World Cup Round Of 16
Joao Cancelo - Four tackles Thursday Cancelo generated one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Thursday's 2-1 win against Croatia.
Impact Cancelo would get a 63-minute shift Thursday, earning a decent one shot, a chance created and three crosses in the attack to go along with an interception, one clearance and four tackles in the defense. He continues to be a starter for the club and will see decent work with Portugal, liking to get their full-backs further up the pitch. However, the team did see a bit more offensive presence with him off the pitch, something to watch heading into a match against a ball-controlling Spain team.

Pedri - Minimal impact in win Pedri generated three tackles (two won) in Thursday's 3-0 victory versus Austria.
Impact Even though Rodri is often deployed as the holding midfielder in Spain, Pedri didn't do much going forward aside from creating one chance. His 65 passes were his highest mark since the 86 passes he made against Saudi Arabia, but his lack of involvement in the final third undoubtedly limits his fantasy appeal in most formats.
JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE
Pau Cubarsi - Five clearances in comfortable win Pau Cubarsi generated one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Thursday's 3-0 victory against Austria. He also added five clearances, two tackles and one blocked shot.
Impact Cubarsi recorded at least five clearances for a second consecutive contest, and his partnership next to Aymeric Laporte at center-back has been perfect as Spain have yet to concede a goal in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Barcelona defender should stay in the lineup for the Round of 16 regardless of the opponent, as there's no reason for Spain to tweak things on the defensive end.
JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE
Dani Olmo - Takes three shots in win Olmo registered three shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Thursday's 3-0 win against Austria.
Impact Olmo didn't find the back of the net in this one, but he was a creative spark in midfield while often connecting well with his Barcelona teammates Pedri and Lamine Yamal. Olmo has been in and out of the starting XI throughout the World Cup, but he could be back in the mix for the Round of 16, with a tougher matchup awaiting against either Croatia or Portugal.
JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE
Lamine Yamal - Unfortunate not to score Yamal generated six shots (four on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Thursday's 3-0 win versus Austria.
Impact Yamal came close to finding the back of the net in the second half when Spain was already leading, but his effort was cleared off the line by an opposing defender. The Barcelona winger showed his elusiveness and flair to get past opponents with ease, and he only missed the goal to round out what could've been his best World Cup showing to date. More importantly, Yamal logged 85 minutes, meaning he should be able to handle a full workload in the Round of 16 and for the latter stages of the knockout rounds.

Marcus Rashford - Struggles before sub Rashford had three shots (one on goal) and four crosses (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the DR Congo.
Impact Rashford had a poor hour on the pitch before he was subbed off for Anthony Gordon, who provided a pair of assists. Rashford's poor showing could push him out of the starting XI against Mexico in the round of 16. Rashford would be a threat off the bench against tired legs if limited to that role for the next match in the knockout stage.

Anthony Gordon - Provides pair of assists Gordon assisted twice to go with one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-1 victory versus the DR Congo.
Impact Gordon provided a pair of assists during Wednesday's win, setting up Harry Kane for a brilliant pair of late goals. Gordon was a threat throughout the match when he came on and immediately changed the complexion of England's front three. Gordon will likely get the starting nod when England take on Mexico in the round of 16.

Raphinha - Returns to pitch training Raphinha (hamstring) has returned to on-field training for the first time since suffering the grade one hamstring strain against Haiti, though he is unlikely to be available for Su...
Impact Raphinha missed both the victory over Scotland and the round of 32 triumph against Japan while remaining in New Jersey undergoing three personalized rehabilitation sessions per day as the squad travelled for those matches. His return to pitch training marks an important milestone in his recovery, but coach Carlo Ancelotti and his staff are unwilling to take unnecessary risks given his recent history with hamstring issues. Ancelotti is expected to assess his condition further during Thursday's training session before making a final decision on his involvement against Norway. Reports from Brazil suggest his return could be pushed back until a potential quarter-final on July 11 if the medical staff determine he is not ready for the immediate knockout fixture, representing a further frustrating setback for one of Brazil's most important attacking figures.

Andreas Christensen - Signs extension through 2028 Christensen signed a two-year contract extension with Barcelona, keeping him at the club through June 2028, the club announced.
Impact Christensen joined from Chelsea in the summer of 2022 and is now entering his fifth season as a Blaugrana, having made 98 official appearances across all competitions including 71 in La Liga and 15 in the Champions League. The 30-year-old Danish center-back has won three La Liga titles, a Copa del Rey and three Spanish Super Cups during his time at the club, establishing himself as a valuable squad member thanks to his tactical intelligence, experience and comfort in possession. His 2025-26 campaign was heavily disrupted by a serious knee injury that kept him sidelined for almost six months, though he made his comeback in the final league fixture of the season away at Valencia in late May. Now fully recovered, Christensen is expected to bring his leadership and defensive quality back to the Barca backline for the coming seasons.

Jules Kounde - Impactful against Sweden Kounde registered one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Sweden.
Impact Kounde generated a big chance along with several defensive contributions before being replaced by Malo Gusto in the 75th minute of the win. The Barcelona man operated in his regular right-back role and found plenty of opportunities to push forward, but it was not enough for him to open his scoring or assisting counts in the 2026 World Cup. Despite failing to play 90 minutes in three consecutive matches, he's a strong two-way option heading into the decisive stages, with his next test coming in a favorable clash with Paraguay.
