Lucas Digne - Page 6 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Picks up knock Tuesday Digne was forced off late in the second half of Tuesday's Cup match. According to manager Rafa Benitez, "I don't think it is very serious. We will see when we check tomorrow."

Impact It's at least a positive sign for Digne, but on a short week, there's a chance he misses Saturday's match against Norwich. More information will be unveiled in the coming days, and for now, he's expected to remain in the XI.

Crosses four times Digne crossed four times (one accurate), created a chance, blocked a shot, made three tackles (one on goal) and one clearance during Saturday's 3-0 loss to Aston Villa.

Takes four corners Digne recorded four corners, five crosses (two accurate) and four chances created in Monday's 3-1 win over Burnley.

Impact Digne led the team in crosses as well as taking all four of the Toffees' corners. Through the first four matches of the year, Digne has recorded 40 percent of the team's crosses while sending 19 of 20 corners. As the primary corner-taker, Digne should continue to offer top-end fantasy value the rest of the way, including Saturday's matchup with Aston Villa.

Leads Everton with six crosses Digne took an off target shot and crossed six times (one accurate) during Saturday's 2-0 win over Brighton.

Takes five corners Saturday Digne had three chances created, nine crosses and three tackles won in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Leeds.

Impact Digne had a solid, all-around performance Saturday, but a yellow card dampened his overall output. He has an exclusive role on set pieces without James Rodriguez in the squad and that'll continue to provide him chances to pick up assists, though he now has seven fouls committed in two matches after barely averaging one per match last season.

Pictured in training Digne was seen in training this week after injuring his thigh a month ago with France in the Euros.

Impact It looks like Digne is over his issue and ready to go a few weeks ahead of the new season. He'll likely get a few starts in pre-season fixtures and if all goes well, he'll be starting the Aug. 14 opener against Southampton.

Unlikely in knockouts Digne suffered a muscle injury just behind the thigh in Wednesday's match against Portugal, according to manager Didier Deschamps.

Impact This was expected to be the case for Digne and even if it's a minor injury, he could still miss a couple weeks, keeping him out the rest of the tournament. It's a blow for France, who also lost Lucas Hernandez to a knee issue in Wednesday's draw against Portugal.

Subs on, exits injured Digne subbed on then was forced off seven minutes later in Wednesday's match against Portugal with a possible muscle injury.

Impact Digne came on for Lucas Hernandez at the break and then he ran into a Portugal player and couldn't continue on. The hope is that it's not a serious injury, but even if it's minor, it'll be hard for him to make the starting XI over Hernandez in the first round of knockouts.

Limited in finale Digne had one shot not on target and five inaccurate crosses in Sunday's 5-0 loss against Manchester City.

Impact Digne didn't hit his usual numbers Sunday, mainly because Man City dominated possession. Still, you can't take away from what was another solid campaign for the left-back. He finished with seven assists from 46 chances created and 44 corners along with nine clean sheets. Even with fewer corners because of James Rodriguez, he still got up the pitch plenty and supplied a decent variety of defensive stats.

Seven crosses in win Digne sent in seven crosses (one accurate) during Wednesday's 1-0 win over Wolves.

Impact Digne was exceptional Wednesday, getting forward to create three chances, as well as doing a strong defensive job. The left-back made three tackles and two interceptions, as well as a few crucial clearances. Digne will look to keep this form going during Sunday's season closer, away to Manchester City.

Racks up 13 crosses Digne had two chances created and 13 crosses with four corners in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Sheffield United.

Impact It was a perfect fantasy setting for Digne on Sunday, as Everton went down a goal early and pushed the rest of the way. Even when he isn't getting corners, he's produced crosses and that was seen against Sheffield United. He has at least nine crosses in three of his last four starts.

MAY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nine crosses Digne sent in nine crosses (three accurate) during Thursday's goalless draw against Aston Villa.

Impact Digne did his best to break the deadlock, bombing forward and sending in a plethora of crosses, even if he failed to register an assist. The left-back is up to seven helpers on the year, a strong tally, though he has only one in the last three months. Digne will hope to rectify that Sunday, against Sheffield.
