Another shock signing for Wolves! Mexico international Raul Jimenez retraces steps as a free agent & joins Kieran Trippier at Molineux

Anthony Elanga - Returns ahead of World Cup Elanga (knee) was seen back in training with the Sweden squad, according to the federation.

Impact Elanga's return to the training pitch is an encouraging development after the knee-on-knee collision that had raised immediate concerns following Thursday's draw against Greece. The Newcastle winger had played down the severity of the issue in the immediate aftermath, and his presence in training suggests the knock has settled as expected. Sweden will be relieved to have one of their key attacking options back in contention heading into the World Cup, with Elanga expected to start on the right wing under coach Graham Potter.

Yoane Wissa - Offensive leader for Congo Wissa has been named in Congo's World Cup squad as the primary attacking threat under coach Sebastien Migne.

Impact Wissa managed one goal across 19 Premier League appearances including just four starts this season with Newcastle United, a frustrating campaign that saw him operate primarily as a bench option rather than a regular starter. His pace, directness and clinical finishing instinct remain his most dangerous attributes, and the freedom of international football could allow him to rediscover the form that made him such an exciting prospect in previous seasons. For Congo, Wissa is the focal point of the attack and is expected to form a dangerous partnership with Cedric Bakambu, with the two combining pace, physicality and experience to give opposing defenses a varied and unpredictable challenge. A fully motivated Wissa on the World Cup stage could be one of the more dangerous attacking weapons available to any team in the tournament.

Tino Livramento - Plays in second half Saturday Livramento (thigh) came off the bench in England's 1-0 friendly win over New Zealand on Saturday.

Impact Livramento was spotted in practice earlier this week and was able to log 45 minutes in a dominant win over New Zealand. The Newcastle full-back should be a depth piece in the World Cup and sits behind Nico O'Reilly and Reece James in the race for playing time.

Anthony Elanga - Knee collision causes concern Elanga (knee) was left on the pitch receiving medical attention after sustaining a knee-on-knee collision during an additional training session following Thursday's 2-2 draw agains...

Impact Elanga had already suffered a similar knee-on-knee collision during the match itself before the second incident occurred in the post-game session, leaving him in significant pain and requiring medical attention from the national team staff. Coach Graham Potter confirmed the incident was a knee knock rather than anything more serious, and the positive assessment from both player and coach suggests Sweden should have the winger available for their World Cup campaign despite the natural concern that accompanies any knee injury at such a critical time.

Anthony Elanga - Expected to start on right wing Elanga has been named in Sweden's World Cup squad and is expected to start on the right wing under coach Jon Dahl Tomasson, arriving at the tournament after a difficult season with...

Impact Elanga managed two goals and one assist across 44 appearances including just 21 starts this season, a frustrating campaign for a player who had shown so much promise in previous years. His pace, directness and ability to beat defenders in one-on-one situations remain his most dangerous attributes, and his energy and work rate off the ball make him a valuable contributor in manager Jon Dahl Tomasson's pressing system regardless of his attacking output. For Sweden, Elanga provides the width and dynamism on the right flank that allows Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak to operate more centrally. The World Cup represents a significant opportunity for the 24-year-old to reestablish himself on the biggest stage after a frustrating domestic campaign.

Fabian Schar - Extends contract with Newcastle Schar (foot) has secured an extended contract with Newcastle until the end of the 2026/27 season, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Schar has been sidelined for practically all of 2026 due to ankle and foot injuries, and there was uncertainty about whether he would remain on the team, but he's now signed to an additional year and should return in the upcoming campaign. The 34-year-old has been a consistent contributor when healthy, tallying 409 clearances, 115 interceptions, 110 tackles, nine goals and one assist over 102 appearances (93 starts) across all competitions for the club over the last three seasons.

Tino Livramento - Present in England's practice Livramento (thigh) is part of the English national team's training group ahead of the World Cup kickoff, Henry Winter of The Football Boardroom reports.

Impact Livramento should be an option for the upcoming national-team competition despite being inactive since mid-April due to the issue. Still, the full-back may be more of a depth option behind Reece James and Nico O'Reilly. If he gets a chance to produce, Livramento might hold attacking upside as part of a team that has the potential to dominate in most of the initial fixtures.

Nick Woltemade - Option for World Cup Woltemade is set to serve as a backup forward for Germany at the 2026 World Cup.

Impact Woltemade is off to the United States this summer as he will serve with Germany, his first World Cup appearance. He is likely to be set for a backup role, serving as another forward option behind Kai Havertz, alongside Deniz Undav. Woltemade comes off a decent season after joining Newcastle, serving in a forward and attacking midfielder role, while earning nine goals and three assists in 43 appearances (31 starts) between UCL and league play. His option to play multiple roles may earn him a bit more time, although it is more than likely that he mainly features near the end of matches, possibly earning a start at the end of the group stage depending on Germany's position.

Bruno Guimaraes - Likely starter in midfield Guimaraes is expected to start in midfield for Brazil in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Impact Casemiro is pretty much locked in as one of the two starting midfielders in Carlo Ancelotti's system, and Guimaraes seems to have a leg up ahead of Lucas Paqueta for the other role. Guimaraes appeared in 29 Premier League contests (27 starts) for Newcastle and added seven starts in the Champions League, tallying nine goals and five assists. The central midfielder should thrive in a box-to-box role next to Casemiro.
