Nicolas Tagliafico
33-Year-Old
Lyon
Ligue 1
Completes full 90 in return
Tagliafico recorded one clearance in Saturday's 3-1 win against Jordan.
ANALYSIS
Tagliafico registered one chance created and two duel wins across his 90 minutes in Saturday's 3-1 win over Jordan, making his first start of the tournament after the calf issue that had restricted him to brief substitute appearances in the second group stage match, completing 48 passes and contributing defensively as the left-back in coach Lionel Scaloni's rotated lineup. Coming through the full match without any recurrence of his injury is the most important outcome of his performance, and his availability now gives Argentina a fully fit squad heading into the round of 32 against Cape Verde.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Headed to Lyon
Tagliafico will join Lyon in a €4M move and will soon take the medicals, Olé reports.
ANALYSIS
Tagliafico has seemed on the verge of leaving Ajax multiple times in the past few years, and Lyon finally managed to convince the Dutch club to sell him as he was getting close to the end of his contract. The Ligue 1 missed out on Tyrell Malacia, who joined Manchester United but bounced back with another solid option for the left-back role.
