Breel Embolo
29-Year-Old
Rennes
Ligue 1
Struggles against Colombia
Embolo had two clearances in Tuesday's 0-0 (4-3) penalty shootout win against Colombia.
ANALYSIS
Embolo faced a difficult challenge against center-backs Jhon Lucumi and Davinson Sanchez, and was held without a goal or assist for the first time in the 2026 World Cup after being directly involved in a goal in four straight outings. The striker is still Switzerland's top offensive contributor with two goals and two assists across five matches played, and he should continue to lead the front line in the quarterfinals versus an Argentinian defense that allowed two goals in each of the previous two games.

"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."
