GAME LOG

Appears off bench versus Portugal Mertens played 42 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 1-0 win over Portugal.
Impact Mertens has been left on the bench now in second straight outing but given the serious injuries for Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard, he will likely start in the quarterfinal versus Italy. The winger has been very quiet in his two starts providing very few numbers.

Doesn't play in final group match Mertens stayed on the bench in Belgium's final group match against Finland.
Impact Mertens saw his role diminish in the side as group stages moved along, mainly because Kevin De Bruyne took his spot. He hasn't played in the last 135 minutes of game time for Belgium and that's not a good sign ahead of the knockout rounds.

Creates three chances versus Verona Mertens came off the bench and created three chances in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Hellas Verona.
Impact Mertens entered the game in the 72nd minute and had some decent minutes, but ultimately his three chances didn't lead to any goals. Mertens had nine goals and eight assists through 29 league appearances this season, but only started one of the last nine games for Napoli with the emergence of Victor Osimhen.

Comes off bench against Fiorentina Mertens took one shot (off target) off the bench in Sunday's 2-0 win against Fiorentina.
Impact Mertens came off the bench in the 77th minute to close out the game and had just one shot attempt and one completed pass. He has started just once in the last eight games with the great form that Victor Osimhen has carried during that span. Regardless, Mertens still has nine goals and eight assists through 28 league appearances this season and could play a part in Sunday's season finale at home against Hellas Verona.

Plays twenty minutes versus Udinese Mertens (ankle) sent in one inaccurate cross, created one scoring chance and had one successful take-on in 20 minutes in Tuesday's 5-1 win over Udinese.
Impact Mertens did not have lingering effects despite hurting his ankle over the weekend. His playing time has been more affected by the rise of Victor Osimhen than by injuries. He has come off the bench in six of the last seven games, tallying one goal, two assists, seven shots, and three created chances. Napoli will face Fiorentina away Sunday.
