Delivers from left-back
Mendes generated one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Colombia.
ANALYSIS
Mendes registered three chances created and one cross across his 89 minutes in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Colombia, consistently advancing from left-back to support Portugal's attacking transitions and delivering the most creative output of any Portuguese defender throughout the match. The PSG left-back combined his forward runs with the defensive discipline required to contain Colombia's right channel, and his three chances created were the most of any defender on the pitch from either side. His ability to arrive into dangerous areas from deep and deliver quality balls into the box make him one of the most important players in Portugal's system heading into the Croatia fixture.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not expected to leave PSG
Mendes is not expected to leave PSG despite Manchester United's interest in his services, according to L'Equipe.
ANALYSIS
Even though Mendes sits quite high on Manchester United's list of potential signings for the summer, the Portugal star seems set to remain with PSG for the foreseeable future. The French giants are in no rush to sell the 22-year-old left-back. This means the Red Devils will have to look at other alternatives to bolster their depth on the left side of the defense.
