Rani Khedira - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Ever-present in Union's midfield Khedira has started and played the full 90 in every match for Union Berlin this season.

Impact Khedira tends to be one of the first names on the team sheet for Union Berlin, but his regular presence in the XI doesn't exactly translate to consistent fantasy production. He has one shot off target and two chances created in those five starts, with most of his contributions coming via clearances (12) and tackles (10).

Limited impact in midfield Khedira recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 5-1 defeat against Sweden. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 54th minute.

Impact Khedira had a difficult evening in Sunday's 5-1 defeat to Sweden, registering one shot off-target as his side's most forward-thinking midfielder in a match where Tunisia were comprehensively outplayed in central areas by a Swedish unit that pressed relentlessly and recycled possession at pace. The midfielder struggled to impose himself in the spaces between Sweden's lines and was unable to provide the creative spark that Tunisia needed to threaten on the counter-attack, with his one shot representing the limit of his attacking contribution in a match where his team managed just six total attempts. His ability to drive forward from midfield and arrive late into dangerous areas gives Tunisia a potentially important option as the tournament progresses, but the collective defensive shape will need to improve significantly around him before his attacking qualities can be expressed more fully.
