Thomas Muller - Exits with dead leg Muller was substituted during Wednesday's 4-1 victory over Cavalry FC in the Canadian Championship after taking a knock to his thigh that left him with a dead leg, with coach Jespe...

Impact Muller's exit appears to be precautionary given the minor nature of the knock, and the timing within a Canadian Championship fixture likely made the club more comfortable removing him early rather than risking a longer term issue. His status for Vancouver's next match should become clearer as the week progresses, though the coach's assurance that he is fine suggests little risk of an extended absence.

Ryan Gauld - Plays one half in return Gauld played one half in managed minutes during Wednesday's 4-1 victory over Cavalry FC in the Canadian Championship, coming off at the break, with coach Jesper Sorensen confirming...

Impact Gauld's return marks his first game action since being sidelined for the opening months of the calendar year, and the managed approach suggests Vancouver is being cautious rather than rushing him back to a full workload. He is expected to regain his spot as an undisputed starter once he builds up to full match fitness, giving the Whitecaps attack a significant boost once he is ready for a complete 90 minutes. Until then, expect his minutes to be gradually increased over the coming matches as he continues working toward a return to the regular lineup.

Oliver Larraz - Plays full 90 Wednesday Larraz played the full 90 minutes in Wednesday's 4-1 victory over Cavalry FC in the Canadian Championship, the club posted.

Impact Larraz's return to full match action is an encouraging sign after being sidelined with a hip injury that had limited him to light training drills away from the team. Playing a complete match suggests he has put the issue behind him, boosting his chances of seeing more playing time in central midfield with the Whitecaps after the World Cup break.

Andres Cubas - Makes seven tackles Saturday Cubas generated seven tackles (four won), one clearance and three interceptions in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus France.

Impact Cubas put in a fine performance even though his side offered almost no attacking threat and focused on disruptive play during the round of 16 defeat. The holding midfielder was an essential member of Paraguay's lineup throughout the tournament and finished among the team's top two players in terms of accurate passes, tackles and interceptions. He's now set to head back to MLS action with Vancouver Whitecaps, looking to build on his solid form and offering value through ball recovery and possession stats.

Andrés Cubas shining at World Cup "not a surprise" | MLSSoccer.com Paraguay have relied on multiple big-time performances during their run to the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 16.

Sebastian Berhalter - Comes on for three minutes Berhalter generated one clearance in Wednesday's 2-0 victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Impact Berhalter would return to the bench after a starting role in the group stage finale, as the midfielder only played three minutes Wednesday. He would complete four passes and earn a clearance, the little he could get in his short time on the field. He will likely remain a bench option as the tournament continues, although with Folarin Balogun out due to a red card, the team could see some rotation that gives Berhalter a bigger role.

JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Kenji Cabrera - Undergoes foot surgery Cabrera underwent a surgery on his foot and is expected to miss four-to-six months, Vancouver announced.

Impact Cabrera's season is likely over, as a four-to-six month timeline would put him on track to return potentially in the playoffs at best. The midfielder played a depth role this season, with two assists in nine appearances (two starts) and 308 minutes total. If he does return it would only be for the final weeks of the season, if Vancouver can make a playoff run.

Andres Cubas - Wins four tackles in Germany tilt Cubas generated two blocks, one clearance and three interceptions and won four of six tackles in Monday's 1-1 (5-4) penalty shootout win versus Germany.

Impact Cubas was a major muscular presence in the midfield and set a new tournament high in tackles, while he matched the one in interceptions. His offensive contribution was lacking, but that has been the norm for him so far, especially against dangerous teams. He has notched at least one tackle and one block in all four matches, piling up 15 (12 won) and seven, respectively. Furthermore, this marked his third straight showing with multiple interceptions, for a total of eight, and one or more clearances (10 total).

Andres Cubas - Creates one chance in draw Cubas recorded one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Thursday's 0-0 draw versus Australia.

Impact Cubas put in a hard-working 90-minute shift in Paraguay's midfield, helping his side match Australia's physicality despite spending long stretches without the ball in Tuesday's scoreless draw. He played a key role defensively in preserving the clean sheet, though Paraguay's lack of cutting edge in the final third kept qualification hanging in the balance. Cubas finished with three tackles (two won), two interceptions, two clearances and one chance created. Paraguay still has a path to the Round of 32 as one of the best third-placed teams, but its poor goal difference leaves very little margin for error.

Sebastian Berhalter - Scores, assists in loss Berhalter took one shot on goal, sent in eight crosses (four accurate), took nine corners, created five chances, scored a goal, and assisted on a goal in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Tur...

Impact Berhalter was arguably the United States' best midfielder on the night. His equalizing goal showcased his composure in front of goal, while his passing, work rate, and intelligence helped drive the U.S. attack for much of the match. Despite the disappointing result, he emerged with enhanced credibility and showed he can contribute in high-pressure knockout-stage matches. His performance was one of the few clear positives from the defeat and should put him firmly in contention for meaningful minutes against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday.

Andres Cubas - Defensive effort in win Andres Cubas generated one tackle (one won), seven clearances and three interceptions in Friday's 1-0 victory against Turkey.

Impact Cubas had to put in a very defensive shift in midfield after Turkey attacked consistently and generated 2.17 expected goals. Turkey also held 78% possession and controlled much of the midfield, but even in a match where Paraguay played with 10 men for half of the game, Cubas provided a strong defensive effort with 12 defensive contributions and helped secure the clean sheet. It was a major bounce-back from their previous match against the United States. Cubas has continued to show his value as a defensive presence in midfield and will have a chance to continue that form in his next match against Australia, as Paraguay enter as the favorite.

Andres Cubas - Commits five fouls in loss to USA Cubas committed five fouls in Friday's 4-1 loss to the USA.

Impact Cubas put in a hard-working, defensively focused performance, but was often outnumbered and overrun by the United States' relentless midfield pressure. While he showed his usual commitment and ball-winning instincts, the match highlighted how difficult it was for Paraguay to establish any control in central midfield.

JUNE 13 • ROTOWIRE

Andres Cubas - Key midfield presence for Paraguay Cubas is expected to start in central midfield for Paraguay in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Impact Cubas might not be as flashy as other midfielders, such as Miguel Almiron and Julio Enciso (thigh), but he has an important tactical role in Gustavo Alfaro's scheme. Cubas is the one who should slot in midfield right between the playmakers and the defensive line in an effort to control the tempo. That said, as a defensive-minded player who rarely gets forward, his fantasy appeal shouldn't be very high.
