Ange-Yoan Bonny - Subdued outing against Germany Bonny recorded one shot (one on goal), one tackle (zero won) and one cross (one accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Germany.

Impact Bonny made his first start in the World Cup after logging 34 minutes in the opener and was fairly energetic and involved in the final third, displaying decent chemistry with his teammates, but his output was paltry overall. He benefited from Elye Wahi's uncertain status for this one, as the teammate was cleared late after some VISA issues but ultimately went unused. Bonny had put up just one clearance and drawn two fouls in his cameo in the first match.

Denzel Dumfries - Two assists in win Dumfries assisted twice to go with four crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 5-1 victory against Sweden.

Impact Dumfries provided a pair of assists during Saturday's win. The right-back was excellent throughout the match and really made his mark early, setting up the first goal as he put the pressure on Sweden. Dumfries should remain a big contributor as the unquestioned top choice at right-back for The Netherlands.

Hakan Calhanoglu - Frustrating night in defeat Calhanoglu had six shots (zero on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Friday's 1-0 loss against Paraguay.

Impact Calhanoglu fired six shots in Friday's 1-0 World Cup loss to Paraguay, including dangerous looks in the 46th and 58th minutes along with a barrage of attempts late in first-half stoppage time, but he couldn't solve Orlando Gill as Turkiye dominated possession without finding the breakthrough. The captain handled most of Turkiye's corner duties during an all-out second-half push, with frustration continuing to build as Paraguay's 10 men dug in and protected their lead despite Miguel Almiron's red card. Turkiye are now mathematically eliminated from the World Cup, a disappointing outcome for a squad that entered the tournament as many fans' favorite dark-horse contender.

Manuel Akanji - Dominant defensive display in win Akanji registered three tackles (three won), four clearances and two interceptions in Thursday's 4-1 win versus Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Impact Akanji was imperious at the heart of Switzerland's defence, winning seven of nine duels against Bosnia's forwards while adding three tackles, two interceptions and four clearances to underline his defensive authority. Equally impressive was his contribution in possession, completing 80 accurate passes with 39 into the opposition half and six long balls that stretched the game and helped Switzerland maintain their stranglehold on the contest. The only blemish on an otherwise flawless night was a stoppage-time equaliser that cruelly denied him a deserved clean sheet.

Petar Sucic - Credited with assist in loss Sucic assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to England.

Impact Sucic was credited with the assist on the goal scored by Martin Baturina, but to be fair, the Como playmaker deserves all the credit for the goal. Sucic should be a regular starter for Croatia in the upcoming group-stage matches as well.

Lautaro Martinez - Limited impact in 55 minutes Martinez registered one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 3-0 victory versus Algeria.

Impact Martinez came close to breaking the deadlock in the opening minutes with a header that went straight to Luca Zidane. However, he went mostly silent the rest of the way and didn't offer much of a threat. Argentina looked far more lively with Julian Alvarez playing upfront, so the Atletico Madrid star might move to the starting lineup for the next match against Austria on Monday, June 22.

Denzel Dumfries - Three crosses from right side Dumfries recorded three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Japan.

Impact Dumfries was the Netherlands' most active wide defensive presence in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Japan, delivering three crosses from the right flank (one accurate) and covering significant ground in both directions as a right-back required to defend against Japan's pace in behind while providing width and delivery in the attacking phase. The right-back was beaten by Yukinari Sugawara's pace on a couple of occasions in the second half when Japan pushed for an equalizer, contributing to the anxiety that preceded Daichi Kamada's stoppage-time header, but created two dangerous situations from deep with his crossing before the final product let him down. His energy, directness and ability to stretch opposition defensive lines from the right side remain a key attacking weapon for the Netherlands, and improving his cross accuracy will be central to unlocking deeper defensive blocks in the rounds ahead.

Manuel Akanji - Controls play from defense Akanji had one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Qatar.

Impact Akanji delivered a composed defensive display in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Qatar at Levi's Stadium, winning his aerial duels and contributing a shot on target from a corner in the first half. The center-back completed a high volume of passes throughout the match as Qatar sat deep in a low block and offered little pressure in possession. However, the late equalizer conceded in stoppage time prevented Switzerland from taking all three points and left the group wide open heading into the second round of fixtures.

Hakan Calhanoglu - Five shots in defeat Calhanoglu had five shots (two on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Australia.

Impact Calhanoglu generated some of Turkiye's most dangerous chances of the match, testing the goalkeeper in both halves while racking up five shots, including two on target, and handling half of the team's corner kicks over the full 90 minutes as one of the primary set-piece specialists. Australia's compact midfield unit stayed glued to him throughout the contest, constantly closing space and preventing him from controlling the tempo the way he regularly does for Inter Milan, leaving his distribution far less impactful than Turkiye needed. The captain heads into the World Cup as one of the tournament's most accomplished midfielders after capturing his second Serie A title in three seasons with Inter.

Hakan Calhanoglu - Starting against Australia Calhanoglu (calf) is in the starting XI for Saturday's World Cup matchup versus Australia.

Impact Calhanoglu has been selected as expected and should feature as one of the most complete contributors for Turkiye. However, coach Vincenzo Montella has said the Inter Milan player is not ready to go the full 90 minutes, so it remains to be seen how long he'll stay on the field, with Salih Ozcan available as a backup option. In any case, Calhanoglu will hold significant all-around value thanks to his offensive talent and heavy involvement in passes and set pieces.

Hakan Calhanoglu - Not ready for full workload Calhanoglu (calf) isn't ready to go the full 90 against Australia, per manager Vincenzo Montella. "I don't think Arda, Hakan, and Kenan are currently capable of playing a full 10...

Impact Calhanoglu has gotten back in training and should be available for the opener against Australia, but it appears he's not fully fit for it. Even if he does get the start, he won't be able to go the full 90 and he may not even be trusted with the start. With Kenan Yildiz (calf) also in doubt Turkey could be without their two top playmakers.

Turkey captain Hakan Calhanoglu says his 'more talented' team will 'dominate' Australia in World Cup

Turkey captain Hakan Calhanoglu says his team is “more talented” than Australia, and he's expecting Turkey to “dominate” the teams' World Cup opener

JUNE 13 • Associated Press

Hakan Calhanoglu - Back in full team training Calhanoglu (calf) has returned to full team training Monday for the first training of Turkiye on the american soil and will be an option for the World Cup opener against Australia...

Impact Calhanoglu had been gradually reintegrated into the group after a calf issue, and his return to full collective sessions is the clearest sign yet that the Inter Milan captain will be available to lead Turkiye from the start of the tournament. Coach Vincenzo Montella will be relieved to have his most important player fully fit heading into what promises to be a highly anticipated opening fixture.

Impact Calhanoglu returned as a substitute in Monday's friendly win over North Macedonia but the coaching staff are taking a measured approach to his reintegration, with the priority being to have the Inter Milan midfielder fully fit and available for the tournament rather than rushing him back prematurely. The captain's availability and fitness will continue to be monitored closely over the coming days ahead of Turkey's opening World Cup fixture against Australia on June 14.

Inter Milan brings back Dejan Stankovic's son, Aleksandar, on 5-year deal

Inter Milan has exercised a buyback clause to re-sign Aleksandar Stankovic from Club Brugge

JUNE 5 • Associated Press

Aleksandar Stankovic - Returning to Inter Stankovic has agreed to a five-year contract with Inter, which bought him back from Club Brugge.

Impact Stankovic was a day-one starter in his first stint away from Inter, recording two goals, two assists, 19 shots (seven on target) and 17 tackles in 10 UEFA Champions League and adding four goals and two helpers in 29 domestic matches. He'll either fight for a spot in the midfield in Milan or be rerouted to a different side later in the summer.

Manuel Akanji - Set to anchor Swiss backline Akanji has been named in Switzerland's World Cup squad and is expected to lead the defensive unit as one of the most experienced and authoritative center-backs in the squad.

Impact Akanji posted 60 tackles, 42 interceptions and 135 clearances across all competitions this season, delivering another commanding campaign that reinforces his standing as one of the top defenders in Serie A. His combination of physicality, composure on the ball and reading of the game makes him a difficult opponent for any forward line, and his ability to step out and engage in midfield areas without compromising the defensive shape gives Switzerland an additional layer of tactical flexibility at the back. Akanji is the cornerstone of Switzerland's defensive structure and the player around whom coach Murat Yakin builds his defensive organization. His experience in major tournaments and his familiarity with playing alongside the other members of the Swiss backline gives the unit a cohesion and understanding that is difficult to replicate. Switzerland's chances of keeping clean sheets and progressing deep into the knockout rounds are directly tied to Akanji's ability to lead from the back and impose his quality on the most dangerous opposition attackers this summer.

Hakan Calhanoglu - Appears off bench in friendly Calhanoglu (calf) returned to action as a substitute for Turkiye in Monday's friendly win over North Macedonia.

Impact Calhanoglu is most likely ready to start and should captain his national team in the summer competition, offering a steady source of passing and ball recovery stats in holding midfield. His eventual addition to the initial lineup will lead to reduced involvement for Salih Ozcan and possibly Orkun Kokcu. In addition to his open play value, Calhanoglu is a solid set-piece taker, having scored five times from the penalty spot for Inter Milan in 2025/26 while also delivering corners and free kicks for both club and country. During the World Cup qualifying stage, he recorded one goal and four assists throughout seven games.

JUNE 1 • ROTOWIRE

Hakan Calhanoglu - Will captain Turkiye Calhanoglu (calf) has been named in Turkiye's World Cup squad and will captain the side throughout the competition despite managing a small injury ahead of the tournament.

Impact Calhanoglu ended the Serie A season with nine goals and four assists across 22 appearances in the Italian top flight for Inter Milan, continuing to establish himself as one of the most complete deep-lying playmakers in European football with his ability to score, create and dictate the tempo of matches. Calhanoglu is being monitored carefully ahead of the tournament but his importance to Turkiye's system makes him effectively irreplaceable, with coach Montella's entire midfield structure built around his ability to control possession and distribute with precision. Calhanoglu heads into the World Cup as the most important player in the squad with Ardu Guler and the creative and spiritual heartbeat of a Turkiye side with genuine ambitions of making a deep run in the competition.

Inter Milan's Federico Dimarco Hits Back At Critics After Serie A MVP Season

Denzel Dumfries - Expected World Cup starter Dumfries has been named in Ronald Koeman's squad for the 2026 World Cup and is expected to start at right-back for the Netherlands, arriving at the tournament after a season disrup...

Impact Dumfries managed five goals and one assist alongside 24 tackles and nine interceptions across 25 appearances including 19 starts this season, numbers that would have been considerably higher had he been able to stay fit throughout the campaign. When available, the right-back remained one of the most dangerous attacking full-backs in European football, combining powerful forward runs, quality delivery from wide areas and an imposing aerial presence that makes him a genuine threat from set pieces and open play alike. His ability to get to the byline and deliver dangerous crosses into the box gives the Netherlands an additional weapon on the right flank. At international level, Dumfries is one of the most important players in manager Ronald Koeman's system, with his overlapping runs and combination play with the wide forwards capable of unlocking even the most organized defensive blocks. His heading ability in both penalty areas adds a physical dimension to his game that makes him difficult to handle for opposing defenders and attackers alike. Arriving fresh from a title-winning season with Inter Milan despite the injury disruptions, Dumfries will be motivated to deliver a commanding performance in what shapes up as one of the most important tournaments of his international career.

Impact De Vrij was on the bubble, and a minor but untimely muscular problem won't allow him to participate in the competition. He'll easily shake it off during the summer. It remains to be seen whether he'll stay at Inter, as his contract is about to run out, but he's in talks with his current team.
