Stephen Eustaquio

Analysis: Eustaquio was busy throughout Wednesday's clash, taking the lion's share of set-pieces. The midfielder was incredibly busy on every dead-ball situation and was strong throughout the match. His volume was a bit wasteful throughout the match but the amount of set-pieces he takes should give him a better floor moving forward.

Returns to training

Eustaquio (undisclosed) has returned to training with the Canada squad ahead of Wednesday's crucial clash against Switzerland, according to Joshua Kloke of TheAthletic.

Analysis: Eustaquio's absence from Sunday's session had raised immediate concerns given his importance to Canada's midfield, having played almost every minute of the tournament thus far. His return to the training pitch is a significant boost for coach Jesse Marsch heading into a fixture where a point or better would see Canada top the group. Canada will be relieved to have their key midfield figure back in contention, with Ismael Kone already ruled out for the remainder of the World Cup leaving the squad short of midfield options for such a high-stakes clash.
