Odysseas Vlachodimos - Returns to Sevilla on loan Vlachodimos will spend a second consecutive season on loan at Sevilla from Newcastle United, the club announced.

Impact Vlachodimos arrived at the Sanchez-Pizjuan a year ago and quickly established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper, playing every minute of 33 LaLiga fixtures plus one Copa del Rey match in a campaign that helped the club achieve their seasonal objective. His performances throughout the season convinced the club to bring him back for another year, with his consistency and command of his penalty area making him one of the more reliable options between the posts in the division. The 32-year-old Greek international had previously spent five outstanding seasons at Benfica, where he made 225 appearances including 32 in the Champions League and won two Portuguese league titles, before moves to Nottingham Forest and Newcastle limited his playing time significantly. His return to the Iberian Peninsula has clearly reignited his form, and Sevilla will be counting on him to build on last season's strong performances heading into the 2026-27 campaign.

Orjan Nyland - Four saves for win Nyland made four saves and allowed one goal in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over Cote D'ivoire.

Impact Nyland made four saves during Tuesday's win, including some truly heroic ones late in the second half. The goalkeeper was excellent throughout the match and shut down some excellent attacking moves. He will be tested even more thoroughly next time out, as Norway prepare to take on Brazil's high-flying attack.

Djibril Sow - Sudued showing against Canada. Sow had one tackle (one won), one clearance and one interception in Wednesday's 2-1 win against Canada.

Impact Sow was occasionally spry on the wing, but his level of activity didn't translate to the stat sheet, as he only collected some defensive stats before being replaced by Michel Aebischer with 16 minutes to go. Dan Ndoye was rested in this one after starting at the position in the previous two tilts. Sowe had done little in his lone previous appearance off the bench.

Ruben Vargas - Scores in Canada fixture Vargas scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target), two crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Canada.

Impact Vargas returned to the starting lineup after being deployed as a sub in the previous game and broke the deadlock right away in the second half with a clever finish on the near post after cutting from the wing, making the stat sheet in back-to-back matches. He has registered at least one shot and one cross in all three games, amassing six (four on target) and 17 (three on target), assisting once and adding 2 corners and 3 tackles (2 won).

Orjan Nyland - Beaten twice in Senegal clash Nyland registered two saves and allowed two goals in Monday's 3-2 victory over Senegal.

Impact Nyland was beaten twice by Ismaila Sarr from point-blank range, as the opponent faced little resistance in the box, and the goalie couldn't do a lot more to prevent the goals. He has made two saves and three clearances and allowed three goals so far. Norway will face France on Friday.

Ruben Vargas - Goal and assist off bench Vargas scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and one chance created in Thursday's 4-1 victory versus Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Impact Vargas was surprisingly left out of the starting XI but wasted no time proving a point when he came on. He and Johan Manzambi transformed the game from the moment they stepped onto the pitch, with Vargas's runs and crosses down the left directly influencing three of Switzerland's goals, capped by a goal and an assist of his own.

Rafa Mir - Loan terminated Mir's loan to Elche was terminated in the midst of his current legal case.

Impact Mir was sentenced to eight-and-a-half years in prison for sexual assault, and his loan was terminated. Sevilla will likely take the same steps to terminate his contract in the coming days.

Orjan Nyland - Concedes with little to do Nyland made no saves and allowed one goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win against Iraq.

Impact Nyland had little to do for most of the game, with Iraq's goal coming from a perfectly placed header that was beyond his control. Norway's backline did not perform to the level expected, as Iraq fired off 11 shots, only one fewer than Norway managed going forward, a result that raises some questions given the fixture was considered the more favorable one on paper. Up next is Senegal, who suffered defeat to France and will be chasing a positive result of their own to improve their qualification chances.

Arouna Sangante - Signs for Sevilla on five-year deal Sangante has joined Sevilla from Le Havre as a free agent on a five-year contract until June 2031, the club announced.

Impact Sangante joined Le Havre at the age of 15 and developed through every level of the club before establishing himself as a regular starter and captain from the 2023/24 season at just 21 years old. Sangante made 74 Ligue 1 appearances across three top-flight seasons, contributing four goals, having previously played a key role in Le Havre's promotion to the top flight as champions in 2022/23 where he contributed three goals and two assists across 35 second division appearances. The tall defender, who can also operate at right-back, now heads to Sevilla for his first experience outside France, bringing leadership, physical presence and top-flight experience to a club looking to rebuild their defensive unit heading into the 2026/27 campaign.

Ruben Vargas - Active outing on left flank Vargas recorded three shots (one on goal), 11 crosses (three accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Qatar.

Impact Vargas was direct and persistent throughout his 79 minutes in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Qatar, registering three shots (one on target) from the left flank and combining consistently with Granit Xhaka and Breel Embolo in the final third as Switzerland's most active wide outlet on the left side of the pitch, also delivering 11 crosses including six corners, the most of any player on the pitch. The winger drove at the Qatar backline with determination and contributed to the sustained pressure that kept Qatar pinned back for large spells, with his set-piece delivery in particular creating multiple dangerous situations inside the box that Qatar struggled to deal with throughout. Replaced by Zeki Amdouni with his side still leading 1-0, Vargas was not on the pitch to witness the stoppage-time own goal that denied Switzerland a winning start, with his exit one of the tactical decisions coach Murat Yakin will be reflecting on ahead of the Bosnia-Herzegovina clash on Thursday.

Ruben Vargas - Starts against Qatar Vargas (undisclosed) is on the starting XI for Switzerland's game against Qatar

Impact Vargas was absent from Saturday's 1-1 draw against Australia after picking up a minor undisclosed injury on Wednesday, an issue that saw him train apart from the group on Friday. He returned to full training shortly after and reclaimed his place in the starting eleven without delay.

Ruben Vargas - Trains fully with Switzerland Vargas (undisclosed) was not included in Switzerland's injury report and is training at full capacity, according to Lucas Werder of Blick Sport.

Impact Vargas missed Saturday's 1-1 draw against Australia due to a minor undisclosed injury sustained Wednesday, which led to him training separately from the group on Friday. He is now back training at full capacity as part of a fully healthy squad ahead of the opener against Qatar and could push for a starting spot.

JUNE 12 • ROTOWIRE

Jon Guridi - Completes Sevilla switch Guridi has completed a permanent transfer to Sevilla on Wednesday.

Impact Guridi spent the last four seasons at Alaves, and he should see regular playing time in Sevilla's midfield. That said, he's likely to operate as a holding midfielder, so his fantasy appeal shouldn't be very high. Guridi made at least 28 appearances in each of Alaves' last three top-flight seasons.

Juan Iglesias - Signs for Sevilla until 2030 Iglesias has joined Sevilla on a four-year contract after his spell at Getafe came to an end, the club announced.

Impact Iglesias spent six seasons at Getafe, making 175 official appearances including 159 in La Liga and contributing two goals and nine assists, establishing himself as one of the most consistent and reliable right-backs in the division. In his final season at the club, he was a near-ever-present under coach Jose Bordalas, missing just one league fixture and surpassing 3,000 minutes while contributing one goal and two assists as Getafe secured a Conference League place. Iglesias now joins a Sevilla side looking to rebuild their status among Spanish football's elite, bringing the experience and reliability of a player who has spent the past six seasons competing at the top level of La Liga.

Ruben Vargas - Dealing with minor injury Vargas (undisclosed) missed Saturday's 1-1 draw against Australia after picking up a minor injury on Wednesday and training separately from the group on Friday, though coach Murat...

Impact Vargas has been one of the most important figures in coach Murat Yakin's setup since the beginning of his tenure and is expected to be fully fit for Switzerland's World Cup opener against Qatar on June 13. The winger's return to full training this week will give the coach the full complement of attacking options he needs to finalize his preparations for the tournament.

Orjan Nyland - Between the posts for Norway Nyland is set to serve as the starter goalie for Norway at the 2026 World Cup.

Impact Nyland is heading to the World Cup this summer as he and Norway look to make waves. This comes despite his limited usage during the league season, serving as the backup for Sevilla and only earning five starts, recording a clean sheet, eight goals allowed and 11 saves. He will then need to be at his best to keep Norway in the tournament, a keeper who has seen a decent run in his two seasons as a starting keeper. Facing two tough attacks in Senegal and France during the group stage could be tough for the keeper, with not the best defense in the tournament ahead of him, although he could see a very good result in their match against Iraq.

JUNE 4 • ROTOWIRE

Ruben Vargas - Creative force for Switzerland Vargas has been named in Switzerland's World Cup squad and is expected to start on the left wing under coach Murat Yakin, arriving at the tournament in good physical condition afte...

Impact Vargas endured a campaign heavily disrupted by injuries but finished strongly, contributing three goals and six assists alongside 90 crosses including 40 corners across 24 appearances this season. His set-piece duties for both club and country enhance his value, with the Swiss winger handling corners and free kicks and ranking among the tournament's top dead-ball specialists. His ability to deliver dangerous crosses from wide areas and create chances through direct running gives Switzerland a consistent attacking threat down the left flank. Vargas is one of the most important creative outlets in manager Murat Yakin's system. His experience in major international tournaments and his understanding of the national team's style of play give him a natural advantage heading into the competition, particularly given the attacking responsibility he carries on that side of the pitch.
