Giovani Lo Celso - Scores direct free kick Lo Celso scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Jordan.

The midfielder became the first Argentina player other than Messi to score at this World Cup, and his set-piece delivery and creativity in tight spaces give Scaloni an important technical option heading into the round of 32 against Cape Verde. His set-piece delivery and creativity in tight spaces give coach Lionel Scaloni an important technical option heading into the round of 32 against Cape Verde.

Ricardo Rodriguez - Decent on both ends against Canada Rodriguez recorded three tackles (one won), one block and six clearances and created two scoring chances in Wednesday's 2-1 win against Canada.

Impact Rodriguez didn't uncork any cross after accumulating 12 in the previous two contests (one accurate), but he had a pair of interesting feeds and was on point in the back for the most part, up until the final stretch of the game, when the whole Canadian defense was a bit shaky. He has recorded three tackles in consecutive games (three won). He has tallied four chances created, two corners and six clearances in three outings, with no clean sheets.

Alvaro Fidalgo - Finds back of net Fidalgo scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over Czechia.

Impact Fidalgo would come onto the field with 18 minutes left in the match and would close out the scoring, with the midfielder finding the back of the net in stoppage time of the second half. This is his first goal contribution of the tournament, as he started in the first game but was unused in the second. That said, this could earn him some more time on the field as they push into the knockout stage.

JUNE 24 • ROTOWIRE

Sofyan Amrabat - Completes 64 passes Amrabat had two tackles (one won), one clearance and two interceptions in Wednesday's 4-2 win against Haiti.

Impact Amrabat was not as active as he would've liked Wednesday, recording a clearance, two interceptions and a few tackles in the defense, but not a single offensive stat. This comes in his first minutes of the 2026 World Cup, playing the full 90 after two games unused. That said, a return to the bench could be on the horizon as Morocco enters the knockout stages.

JUNE 24 • ROTOWIRE

Cedric Bakambu - Quiet in loss to Colombia Bakambu recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Tuesday's 1-0 loss against Colombia.

Impact Bakambu contributed one shot and two aerial duel wins across his 57 minutes in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat to Colombia before being replaced by Simon banza. The veteran forward completed six passes in a match where the collective attacking output was severely limited by Colombia's disciplined defensive structure and the outstanding performance of goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi at the other end kept his side in the contest far longer than the balance of play suggested.

JUNE 24 • ROTOWIRE

Ricardo Rodriguez - Solid defensively, poor service Rodriguez registered four crosses (zero accurate) and three tackles in Thursday's 4-1 victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Impact Rodriguez was heavily involved as Switzerland dominated possession and channeled much of their attack down his side alongside Dan Ndoye. He completed 51 accurate passes and was a consistent presence in the opposition half throughout. Going forward however he struggled to make his crosses count, attempting four with none finding their target, and his most reliable contribution came at the other end where he won two of his three tackles defensively.

JUNE 19 • ROTOWIRE

Cucho Hernandez - Provides assist for late goal Hernandez assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-1 win against Uzbekistan.

Impact Hernandez was instrumental in the buildup to Colombia's third goal, chasing down a long ball and showing strength to maintain possession before whipping a delicious cross into the box that Jaminton Campaz converted with a header in stoppage time. He was a persistent threat during his 10 minutes on the pitch, helping stretch Uzbekistan's defense and create space for his teammates. Hernandez's work rate and direct contribution to the winning goal underline his value to Colombia's attack heading into the rest of the group stage.

JUNE 18 • ROTOWIRE

Cedric Bakambu - Busy in draw Bakambu registered two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus Portugal.

Impact Bakambu had plenty to do throughout Wednesday's clash but couldn't put his name on the scoresheet. He contributed throughout the match and made some dangerous runs, but it just wasn't enough to get the win. Still he was lethal alongside Yoane Wissa up top and the two could be a strong strike pairing going forward.

Abde Ezzalzouli - Travels to Lyon for treatment Abde (knee) will leave Morocco's World Cup camp on Monday to begin his rehabilitation, heading first to Elche to spend time with his family before travelling to Lyon's Centre Ortho...

Impact Abde had remained with the Morocco squad despite being ruled out of the tournament entirely, attending their opening fixture against Brazil in New York before departing the camp. Real Betis's medical staff agreed with the player on the decision to begin treatment in Lyon rather than Seville, also seeking to help him disconnect from his routine during the initial rehabilitation phase. Abde expressed determination to return stronger and better after a difficult week in which uncertainty surrounded his condition before his World Cup elimination was confirmed.

Ricardo Rodriguez - Eight crosses against Qatar Rodriguez registered eight crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Qatar.

Impact Rodriguez was involved in Switzerland's most dangerous moments in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Qatar, repeatedly surging down the left flank and combining effectively with Ruben Vargas. The left-back recorded two interceptions and delivered eight crosses, providing a constant attacking outlet throughout the match. Rodriguez was replaced by Miro Muheim late in the second half as coach Murat Yakin looked to protect the lead, only for the substitute to deflect Boualem Khoukhi's stoppage-time header into his own net in a heartbreaking ending to a match Switzerland had largely controlled.

Alvaro Fidalgo - Active in victory Fidalgo created one scoring chance in Thursday's 2-0 victory versus South Africa.

Impact Fidalgo put in a fair performance in ball distribution duties, with his most relevant contribution being a scoring chance created in his World Cup debut. The naturalized Mexican worked alongside Brian Gutierrez as the more advanced members of a central midfield trio while Erik Lira stayed behind them. That should be the case again in upcoming fixtures, so Fidalgo could be relied on mostly for pass accuracy and individual duel success. However, he may often be subbed off and could lack involvement in the final third compared to other attackers.

Abde Ezzalzouli - Ruled out of World Cup Abde (knee) has been ruled out of the World Cup entirely and will be replaced in Morocco's squad by Amine Sbai, according to Hanif Ben Berkane of Foot Mercato.

Impact Abde's tournament is over after the moderate knee ligament sprain he suffered during Sunday's friendly against Norway proved too serious to recover from in time for any part of the competition. Morocco will now reorganize their attacking options without one of their key wide players, with Bilal El Khannouss expected to cover on the left flank as the Atlas Lions prepare for their World Cup opener against Brazil.

Impact Abde's injury is a significant blow for Morocco heading into their World Cup opener against Brazil, with Bilal El Khannouss expected to cover on the left wing in his absence. The medical staff has informed Real Betis that they intend to keep him with the squad for now, hoping to get him back on his feet in time for a potential round of 16 appearance if Morocco advance from the group stage.

JUNE 9 • ROTOWIRE

Cedric Bakambu - Veteran presence in attack Bakambu has been named in Congo's World Cup squad as one of the key attacking figures, arriving at the tournament after a productive season with Real Betis.

Impact Bakambu contributed four goals and three assists across all competitions this season, delivering a consistent output that underlines his continued value as an experienced and technically accomplished forward. His ability to combine in tight spaces, hold up play and deliver in the final third makes him a perfect partner for Yoane Wissa up front, with the two expected to form one of the more dangerous attacking partnerships among the smaller nations at the tournament. At 35, Bakambu brings the experience and composure needed to perform on the biggest stage, and his leadership within the Congolese attack will be crucial in a World Cup debut that represents the pinnacle of the nation's footballing history.

Impact Abde's injury is a devastating blow for Morocco heading into their World Cup opener against Brazil, with the winger having been a key attacking figure in coach Mohamed Ouahbi's plans. Bilal El Khannouss is expected to shift to the left wing to cover his absence, with the Atlas Lions forced to reorganize their attacking options at the worst possible time ahead of what promises to be one of the most anticipated group stage fixtures of the tournament.

Abde Ezzalzouli - Suffers injury Abde was forced off the field at halftime of Sunday's friendly against Norway due to a leg injury, according to Samuel Zemour of Foot Mercato.

Impact Adbe was taken off the field at halftime Sunday after suffering an injury on the final play of the half, receiving a blow from his teammate in the knee region that would end his day. This is a concern for the team just a few days from the start of the World Cup, as the attacker is set to be a starter for their opener against Brazil. The hope will be that he only suffered a minor injury and was removed as a precaution, as his absence would force Azzedine Ounahi into the starting XI.

Ricardo Rodriguez - Expected to start at left-back Rodriguez has been named in Switzerland's World Cup squad and is expected to start at left-back under coach Murat Yakin, arriving at the tournament with the experience of a player...

Impact Rodriguez contributed one assist alongside 33 tackles and 13 interceptions across 32 appearances in all competitions this season, continuing to provide the reliability and defensive solidity that has made him a trusted option at left-back for both club and country. His reading of the game, positional discipline and delivery from wide areas give Switzerland a dependable presence on that side of the pitch, and his experience in major tournaments ensures he will not be overawed by the occasion regardless of the opposition. Rodriguez is one of the most capped players in Swiss history and brings a level of experience and tactical understanding that is invaluable in a tournament setting. At 33, this figures to be his final World Cup, adding a personal motivation to deliver one last memorable performance on the biggest stage.

Sofyan Amrabat - Logs 81 minutes in friendly Amrabat (undisclosed) started and created one scoring chance over 81 minutes for Morocco during Tuesday's friendly win over Madagascar.

Impact Amrabat has recovered from the problem that forced him to miss the final La Liga match of the season, and his availability is a massive boost to his nation's midfield. He'll contend with both Neil El Aynaoui and Ayyoub Bouaddi for one of the holding midfield spots, with the Betis man capable of contributing heavily in terms of defense and possession and only occasionally generating offensive play.
