Lucas Digne - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Left out for tactical reasons Digne was left out of PSG's squad for Friday's clash against Monaco due to tactical decisions, the club posted.

Impact Digne's integration has proven difficult amid inconsistent performances since joining the club of the capital, and Warren Zaire-Emery is expected to hold down the left back spot until Nuno Mendes returns from suspension. Digne had started PSG's Super Cup win over Lens just days after signing, though his path to regular minutes now appears less certain as the club navigates its options at the position.

Impact Digne is already in the squad for PSG just days after joining the club, with the defender starting for a Super Cup Final against Lens, already having a chance at winning some hardware with his new team. This comes as they leave Nuno Mendes on the bench, with Mendes still expected to be their regular starter at left back.

Spain are going to take some stopping! Winners and losers as La Roja lay down a marker ahead of World Cup final while France's fabled forwards exit with a whimper

Awful performance leads to loss Digne recorded two crosses (zero accurate) and one clearance in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Spain.

Impact Digne committed a foul that resulted in the penalty kick from which the opposition opened the scoring in Tuesday's clash. The defender did little to offset the error, with his production basically limited to a couple of ball recoveries before his substitution for Theo Hernandez in the 72nd minute. If there's rotation in the third-place match, it could have been an unfortunate end to the competition for Digne, who had previously done a solid job at left-back.

JULY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Three crosses from defense Digne generated one shot (zero on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Thursday's 2-0 win versus Morocco.

Impact Digne was at left-back for France once again, a third straight start for the defender as France continues their World Cup campaign. He would earn a decent two-way effort, recording a shot and three crosses in the attack to go along with one tackle won, an interception and two clearances in the defense. He should remain a starter, with Theo Hernandez as their other option at left-back.

JULY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Makes seven clearances in win Digne registered one shot (one on goal) and seven clearances in Tuesday's 3-0 victory versus Sweden.

Impact Digne was active over 78 minutes on the pitch during his second World Cup appearance, finishing with a game-high total of seven clearances. Other than that, he had a long-range shot stopped by the goalkeeper early in the game. Digne has been part of a rotation with Theo Hernandez, which makes him unreliable for guaranteed playing time, but he holds attacking upside whenever he's on the field, especially with his side dominating against most opposition.

JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE

Six crosses in victory Digne registered six crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 3-0 win against Iraq.

Impact Digne got the nod at left-back over Theo Hernandez as manager Didier Deschamps continued to shuffle his back line ahead of the knockout rounds. He logged the full 90 minutes as part of a French defense that pitched a shutout against an Iraq side that generated just 0.6 expected goals throughout the match. Digne also chipped in six crosses and created one chance, while France secured its place in the Round of 32 and now turns its attention to a final group-stage showdown with Norway on June 26.

JUNE 22 • ROTOWIRE

Assists from left-back Digne assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Friday's 4-2 victory against Liverpool.

Impact Digne took a single corner and sent in a pair of crosses during Friday's win, but that was enough to earn an assist during the clash. The defender was excellent going forward throughout the match, even with the limited volume. Still he's not likely to get as much room to run in either of his final two matches in all competitions.

Other than the goal contribution his performance could have been better. He won just three of the nine duels he engaged in and placed only two of his eight crosses accurately. The regular starting left-back is typically impactful, he has produced three assists and contributed to three clean sheets.
