Minor bruise, fine for Iraq
Gusto downplayed concerns over his ankle after a collision with Lucas Digne in training Wednesday, describing the issue as a small bruise that should be fine following treatment, according to Loic Tanzi of L'Equipe. "Everything is fine, I took a little stud from Lucas who maybe wasn't very happy. I will just have treatment today, it's a small bruise, it should be fine."
ANALYSIS
Gusto did not finish Wednesday's training session but the reassuring update suggests there is no serious concern ahead of France's second group fixture against Iraq on June 22. The Chelsea right-back remains an option behind Jules Kounde in the battle for the starting spot, and his quick recovery removes any lingering doubt heading into the tournament's pivotal stages.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Man City eyeing move?
Manchester City are interested in signing Gusto this summer, according to transfer expert Nicolo Schira.
ANALYSIS
Gusto has been limited to a backup role at both Chelsea and the France national team. However, a move to Manchester City would allow him to play as a regular starter since he'd be a clear upgrade over the current in-house options at the Etihad Stadium. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea are open to parting ways with the France international, though.
