Ligue 1
Picks up helper in Canada clash
Embolo assisted once to go with two shots (two on goal) and one chance created and drew four fouls in Wednesday's 2-1 victory over Canada.
ANALYSIS
Embolo was again slippery and hard to contain, missed a sitter in the early going, but redeemed himself by setting up the second goal for his side, outsmarting and outmuscling a pair of defenders in space and generously feeding the trailing Johan Manzambi for his second assist on the trot. He hit the net in the opener. He has registered at least one shot, accumulating seven (three on target), and one key pass, piling up eight, in all three World Cup appearances.

"He was missing and we are happy he is on his way to join us. We need him, he needs us. Given the situation, with the travel, the stress and the jet lag, it makes no sense for him to play tomorrow."
