Marcelo Brozovic - Listed among substitutes Brozovic is in the match day squad to face Morocco on Sunday.

Impact Brozovic suffered a thigh injury in the loss to Argentina and will likely not feature in Saturday's match before heading back to club football. The midfielder is among the substitutes so theoretically he could be available, though his inclusion in the match is unlikely.

Marcelo Brozovic - Doubftul for Morocco clash Brozovic (thigh) will likely be spared in Saturday's game against Morocco, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

Impact Brozovic isn't dealing with a major problem, but he's not 100 percent, and the coaching staff will probably err on the side of caution given his previous issues in the same area. It remains to be seen whether he'll be left out of the squad list entirely or if he'll be a bench option. His likely exclusion from the XI could lead to more minutes for Lovro Majer and Mateo Kovacic.

Marcelo Brozovic - Gets busy in win Brozovic conceded a yellow card, created one chance, won three-of-four tackles and made three interceptions during Friday's win over Brazil after penalties.

Impact Brozovic has played nearly all of the two extra-time wins in the knockout rounds, creating five chances to go with his productive defensive play to defeat the Brazilians. Aside from Luka Modric, Brozovic might be the most valuable midfielder for the Croatians if he can avoid more fouls.

Lautaro Martinez - Nets deciding PK in shootout Martinez recorded two shots (one on target) in Friday's 2-2 (4-3) shootout win over Netherlands.

Impact Martinez had a quiet evening during regulation across just 38 minutes of relief activity, but he tallied the game-winning shootout goal to help launch Argentina into the semi-final round. In any event, he's been utilized inconsistently during this World Cup, and there's a decent chance he heads back to the bench for Tuesday's tilt with Croatia. His status within the XI is worth monitoring as Argentina battles absences related to yellow accumulation.

Marcelo Brozovic - In lineup against Brazil Brozovic (rest) made the starting lineup for Friday's quarterfinal against Brazil.

Lautaro Martinez - Takes four shots off bench Martinez took four shots (two on target) and created one chance in 19 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 2-1 win over Australia in the Round of 16.

Impact Martinez struggled mightily with the chances presented to him, each of which could've sealed the result with less stress. It also came out that he was dealing with an injury that limited his ability to contribute, but that shouldn't be the case any longer. Still, Martinez has lost his starting spot to Julian Alvarez following his two goals in the last two games.

Marcelo Brozovic - Misses training Brozovic has missed training ahead of Friday's quarterfinal against Brazil as he's been put on a recovery program, according to reporter Richard Wilson.

Impact Brozovic would be a notable absence if he's not in the starting lineup given the success he's had alongside Luka Modric and Mateo Kovacic. This could give a chance for Mario Pasalic or Lovro Majer to get into the lineup for their toughest game yet.

Impact Dumfries put in the performance of his career for three goal contributions during Saturday's one-sided win. Dumfries and Daley Blind ran riot down the flanks picking team USA apart at will.

DECEMBER 1, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Denzel Dumfries - Five crosses in three start Dumfries started and played every minute of the World Cup group stage, sending in five crosses.

Impact Dumfries and Daley Blind have been nailed-on starters at wing-back for the Dutch team, but neither have gotten forward frequently. Dumfries will potentially be tested defensively by the United States during the first round of the knockout stage, where he will be tasked with shutting down Christian Pulisic.

Andre Onana - Leaves Qatar Onana has flown to Cameroon after being suspended by his national team, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

Impact Onana defended his behavior and added that he respected the decision of the coach and the Federation. A reconciliation would be stunning at this point, and Devis Epassy will man the sticks in the remaining Cameroon matches in Qatar. Onana will vacation for a few days before reporting back to Inter to prepare for the second half of the season.

Andre Onana - Officially suspended by Cameroon Onana will be temporarily suspended by Cameroon ahead of Friday's matchup with Brazil.

Impact The announcement confirms what was already reported that Onana would be left out of the national team due to his criticism of coach Rigobert Song. With Onana out, Devis Epassy should feature in the starting XI against Brazil and possibly longer if Cameroon advances.

Andre Onana - Departing from World Cup Onana will leave Cameroon's national team setup after the coach excluded him from selection in Monday's draw with Serbia, according to Alberto Rubio of MARCA.

Impact While there is a chance Onana sticks around, it doesn't seem likely he will play again in this edition of the World Cup. He was criticized by coach Rigobert Song for risky play in goal and a dispute ended with Onana likely to be benched, so he's leaving entirely. Devis Epassy has since taken over as the starter for the Indomitable Lions.

Andre Onana - Punished for argument with the coach Onana has been disciplined for clashing with coach Rigobert Strong about his goalkeeping style, Tuttomercatoweb informs.

Impact Onana is pretty capable with his feet and, therefore, pretty aggressive and daring. The gaffer reportedly asked to tone it down, which wasn't well received, leading to a skirmish and the ensuing punishment, despite the intercession of the Federation. The choice appears to be permanent, but more will be known in the next few days.
