Marcus Thuram - Stays on bench Thursday Thuram (calf) was an unused substitute in Thursday's 2-0 win over Morocco in the 2026 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals.

Impact Thuram didn't see action in this quarterfinal win, and the Inter Milan striker continues to be a depth piece for Les Bleus -- he's logged just one minute in the World Cup. Thuram will aim to return to action in the semifinals next Tuesday, but it remains to be seen whether he'll be an option since he's a backup behind Kylian Mbappe (ankle) and Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Ivan Provedel - Moves to Inter Provedel has transferred to Inter on a permanent deal from Lazio.

Impact Provedel replaces previous starter Yann Sommer in the squad and is expected to back up and compete with Josep Martinez, who's set to open the season as the no.1 goalie. Provedel is coming off a bounce-back campaign during which he kept 12 clean sheets, made 90 saves and allowed 27 goals in 27 appearances before suffering a serious shoulder injury he's still recovering from. Instead, Lazio could roll with Christos Mandas and Edoardo Motta between the sticks.

Lautaro Martinez - Delivers one assist off bench Martinez assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-2 victory against Egypt.

Impact Martinez registered one assist, three shots and one accurate cross across his 24 minutes in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Egypt, delivering the precise cross to the back post that Enzo Fernandez headed home for the 92nd-minute winner that sent Argentina into the quarterfinals. The Inter Milan striker also forced Mostafa Shobeir into a save shortly after coming on and was the most dangerous individual player on the pitch in the closing stages that will give coach Lionel Scaloni a genuine selection decision heading into the quarterfinal against Switzerland.

Manuel Akanji - Makes five clearances in victory Akanji registered one tackle (one won), five clearances and one interception in Tuesday's 0-0 (4-3) penalty shootout win against Colombia.

Impact Akanji did a good job despite finishing as the less productive member of a center-back pairing alongside Nico Elvedi against Colombia. The Inter Milan man performed close to his tournament averages of 4.8 clearances, 1.2 interceptions and 1.6 tackles per contest. He should continue to be reliable for playing time, though his side's clean sheet chances will be lower in the next clash with Argentina.

Marcus Thuram - Likely against Morocco Thuram (calf) is back doing exercises and running drills alongside physical trainer Cyril Moine and a full return to team training is imminent for the Inter Milan forward, and barr...

Impact Thuram is trending in the right direction after missing the last two knockout rounds, with his return to fuller training Sunday a positive sign for France ahead of Thursday. The calf issue has limited him to a single one minute substitute appearance so far at the tournament. Given the layoff, a spot on the bench looks more likely than a start against Morocco, with the coaching staff able to ease him back in given the squad depth at forward.

Marcus Thuram - Starting to train Thuram (calf) is back in training but has yet to resume full training, according to Loic Tanzi of L'Equipe.

Impact Thuram is seeing a boost in health following France's round of 16 win, as the forward was available for limited training Sunday. Luckily for the team, this remains a minor loss, as he has only featured once off the bench for a minute, although that can be greatly blamed on his injury. If he is to return to face Morocco on Thursday, expect a bench spot for the forward.

Marcus Thuram - Won't face Paraguay Thuram (calf) is out for Saturday's match against Paraguay, according to manager Didier Deschamps, per Anthony Clement of L'Equipe. "He is still in an adapted session. It's better,...

Impact Thuram was unavailable for France against Sweden in the round of 32 and will now miss the round of 16, as he is yet to resume training following a calf injury. This will leave the team with one less option in the attack, although that shouldn't be an issue for a team that could start three different lines of world-class attackers. He will hope to return in the quarterfinals, as France is likely to make it barring a massive upset.

Lautaro Martinez - Rough outing against Cape Verde Martinez recorded no stats in Friday's 3-2 win versus Cape Verde.

Impact Martinez would see little to no work Friday, as the forward did not record a single shot in his 63 minutes of play. He would record a chance created on 12 passes, although that is about all he did. This does leave some room for Julian Alvarez to enter the talks for starting at forward again, with Martinez now struggling in three of his four starts this tournament.

JULY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Manuel Akanji - Delivers strong defensive display Akanji registered one tackle (one won), seven clearances and three interceptions in Thursday's 2-0 win versus Algeria.

Impact Akanji registered three interceptions, one chance created and one tackle across his 90 minutes in Thursday's 2-0 win over Algeria, denying Riyad Mahrez when the Algerian captain had a rare first-half opportunity blocked at close range, and contributing to a collective defensive display that kept Algeria to very few shots on target despite their sustained possession in the second half. The center-back completed 62 passes and won two aerial duels, and his combination with Nico Elvedi gives Switzerland one of the most reliable defensive partnerships in the round of 16.

JULY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Petar Sucic - Created two chances in loss Sucic had one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Thursday's 2-1 defeat to Portugal.

Impact Sucic co-led Croatia in chances created during the loss, as Croatia will now head back home after the Round of 32. The midfielder scored once, but was offside. He finished the World Cup with one goal, one assist, three shots and four chances created in four appearances (three starts).

Marcus Thuram - Still absent from group training Thuram (calf) remained away from collective training on Wednesday, limiting himself to bike work at Bentley University while his teammates who featured as substitutes against Swede...

Impact Thuram has now missed multiple training sessions with the group since the calf issue emerged, raising further doubts about his availability for France's round of 16 fixture. Should he be unable to feature, Jean-Philippe Mateta is expected to continue as the backup option to Kylian Mbappe at the tip of the attack, with no return timeline provided as the coaching staff continue to monitor his condition.

JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Benjamin Pavard - Departs Marseille after loan spell Pavard is back at Inter after his loan spell in Ligue 1 but is unlikely to stay, Fabrizio Romano reported.

Impact Pavard wasn't acquired by Olympique Marseille after posting 36 tackles, 29 interceptions and 102 clearances and contributing to 16 clean sheets in 34 matches (28 starts). He had a falling-out with Inter coach Christian Chivu and isn't expected to stick around, despite the departures of Francesco Acerbi and Stefan De Vrij in the same role.

JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Henrikh Mkhitaryan - Will continue playing Mkhitaryan has agreed to a one-year contract with Inter.

Impact Mkhitaryan contemplated retirement, while he didn't seem inclined to consider other teams' offers, hadn't Inter proposed a renewal. He'll likely have the same role as last season, backing up Hakan Calhanoglu, Piotr Zielinski and Nicolo Barella in the midfield alongside Petar Sucic. He tallied four goals and one assist in 34 showings (20 starts) in 2025/2026.

JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Ange-Yoan Bonny - Ineffective Tuesday Bonny registered one tackle (one won) and one clearance in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat to Norway.

Impact Bonny came off the bench and provided a tackle and clearance but couldn't get involved in the attack at all. He was brought on try and chase the game and overturn the late deficit but he just couldn't quite pull it off. Bonny and co. return home with a very disappointing round-of-32 finish against a beatable Norway side.

Inter Milan bids emotional farewell to 4 veterans as contracts expire

Inter Milan has parted ways with four key players

JUNE 30 • Associated Press

Denzel Dumfries - Whips in two crosses Dumfries had one shot (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Monday's 1-1 (4-3) penalty shootout loss against Morocco.

Impact Dumfries was given more of a wing-back role Monday as the Dutch went with a more defensive look, limiting his forward movement as the Netherlands remained on the back foot for much of the match. He would earn two crosses and a shot in the attack to go along with one tackle won and a clearance in the defense. His World Cup ends with two assists on four chances created and 13 crosses in the attack to go along with one interception, five clearances and six tackles in the defense, unable to match his three-goal contributions from 2022.

Marcus Thuram - Ruled out vs Sweden Thuram (muscular) has been officially ruled out of Tuesday's round of 16 clash against Sweden, according to coach Didier Deschamps, per L'Equipe. "Marcus, it is not serious, but it...

Impact Thuram's absence was widely anticipated after he had been unable to train for the past two days and was limited to bike work, with the confirmation of his unavailability coming ahead of the knockout fixture. The forward had managed just one minute of action during the group stage, making the impact of his absence relatively limited given that Kylian Mbappe is set to lead the attack with Jean-Philippe Mateta available as a backup option. France enter the fixture as clear favorites against Sweden, and coach Didier Deschamps has sufficient attacking depth to cope without Thuram for the time being.

JUNE 29 • ROTOWIRE

Marcus Thuram - Doesn't train, Tuesday in doubt Thuram is likely to miss Tuesday's match against Sweden due to a calf injury, according to Damien Degorre of L'Equipe.

Impact Thuram was not able to train the past two days and was only able to ride a bike, suffering from a calf injury that now leaves him a concern for Tuesday. He was unlikely to see the field either way, as Kylian Mbappe will start at forward while Jean-Philippe Mateta serves as a backup, with any of their attackers really able to take on the starting role. This should then be a minor loss for the French team, who are the favorites by a decent margin against Sweden.

Lautaro Martinez - Converts from spot Martinez scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Jordan.

Impact Martinez registered one goal, three shots (one on target), one block and one chance created across his 60 minutes in Saturday's 3-1 win over Jordan, doubling the lead from the penalty spot in the first half after that Nizar Mahmoud Ahmed Al Rashdan had blocked Marco Senesi's rebound with his arm. The Inter Milan striker is an important part of coach Lionel Scaloni's attack and heads into the Round of 32 against Cape Verde with one World Cup goal across three appearances.

JUNE 28 • ROTOWIRE

Petar Sucic - Scores first goal Sucic scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Ghana.

Impact Sucic opened the scoring for Croatia, playing a key role in the 2-1 victory over Ghana. He started two of the three group-stage matches, contributing a goal and an assist while maintaining an 86 percent pass accuracy and winning nine duels. His influence in midfield has been clear, and if Croatia continue with their 4-2-3-1 setup, he has a strong case to remain in the starting XI for the knockout rounds.

Denzel Dumfries - Causes own goal versus Tunisia Dumfries won one tackle and generated four shots (two on goal) and six crosses (one accurate) in Thursday's 3-1 win against Tunisia.

Impact Dumfries was a force on the wing and, while he wasn't directly involved in the two goals, he led his side in both attempts and deliveries. Ellyes Skhiri botched a clearance on a low-driven feed, beating his own goalie. He has recorded three or more crosses, totaling 13 (three accurate), and at least one tackle, accumulating five (all won) in every tilt, providing two assists and adding two key passes and four clearances. He hadn't taken a shot prior to this bout, while he snapped a two-match streak with two chances created.

JUNE 26 • ROTOWIRE

Ange-Yoan Bonny - Another quiet game Bonny recorded one tackle (one won), two clearances and one interception in Thursday's 2-0 victory over Curacao.

Impact Bonny was not able to do much for the Ivory Coast despite their win and his starting position, as he would not record a single shot as a forward. After starting the last match and appearing in all three games this tournament, he still only has one shot, which he failed to score. It does raise some questions on if Elye Wahi will return to the starting XI as the Ivory Coast prepare for the knockouts.

JUNE 25 • ROTOWIRE

Manuel Akanji - Posts five clearances versus Canada Akanji had two tackles (two won) and five clearances and completed 65 passes in Wednesday's 2-1 victory versus Canada.

Impact Akanji was on his way to yet another brilliant defensive display, but he had trouble guarding Nathan Saliba in the second half and wasn't great on Canada's lone goal, soiling his performance. He has recorded at least one tackle, totaling six (all won), and three clearances, racking up 12, in the first three matches, adding two interceptions and three chances created, but with no clean sheets.

JUNE 25 • ROTOWIRE

Lautaro Martinez - Zero shots Monday Martinez recorded zero shots in Monday's 2-0 win over Austria.

Impact Martinez had a rough 65 minutes of play Monday after receiving the start, with the forward going without a shot the whole match. He would end up seeing more work in the defense, notching two tackles and three clearances. That said, he only has one shot through two starts, possibly leaving space for Julian Alvarez to take his spot in the starting XI.
