Raheem Sterling - Scores goal against Croatia Sterling scored a goal and created a chance in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Croatia. He took three shots overall in the match.

Impact Sterling was a big attacking threat on Sunday, culminating in his decisive goal from a Kalvin Phillips through ball. This goal will give him confidence after an inconsistent season at Manchester City, and he will be ready for Friday's clash against Scotland, which conceded 19 goals in 10 matches during qualifying.

Kevin De Bruyne - Not traveling for opener De Bruyne (nose, face) is not traveling to Russia for Belgium's opener on Saturday.

Impact This isn't too surprising for De Bruyne, as it makes more sense for him to return to 100 percent fitness before taking the pitch. His absence could mean a couple other players get pitch time, with Leander Dendoncker and Thorgan Hazard possibly benefitting the most. As of now, it's expected De Bruyne will be better and ready for the June 17 contest.

Aymeric Laporte - Dealing with fatigue Laporte is dealing with some fatigue ahead of Monday's match against Sweden, according to manager Luis Enrique.

Impact Laporte didn't play in Man City's final four matches, so a fatigue issue is a bit surprising and the hope is that he doesn't test positive for COVID-19. For now, he's expected to be good for Monday's opener, but it's something to monitor in the next few days.

Zack Steffen - Out with bone bruise Steffen is expected to be out about 10 days after suffering a knee bruise in the win against Mexico, reports Steven Goff of Washington Post.

Impact This is great news for Steffen, who should be healthy enough for next month's Gold Cup. Following Ethan Horvath's heroics in the win against Mexico, there's a chance those two split time in upcoming matches, though that's something that will be decided once Steffen is back with the squad.

Kevin De Bruyne - Joins team, doubt for first match De Bruyne (nose) joined team training Monday, but manager Roberto Martinez doesn't believe he'll be ready for the June 12 match against Russia. "He's joined the medical department...

Impact De Bruyne will work with the team over the next week, but it probably won't be enough for him to start Saturday's match. He's been out for a couple weeks, so his fitness is probably lacking and while there's a chance he comes off the bench against Russia, it may be best to wait until he's fully fit to give him some minutes.
