Back to Augsburg after loan
Mbuku will return to parent club FC Augsburg following the conclusion of his loan spell at Montpellier, the club announced.
Analysis: Mbuku returns to Augsburg after a loan at Montpellier that saw him contribute four goals and five assists in 31 appearances. He also started DR Congo's final two group matches at the World Cup. His future at Augsburg will be determined during preseason, with his production in France and on the international stage giving him a stronger case than some of his fellow returning loanees.
Five crosses in loss
Mbuku generated one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat versus England.
Analysis: Mbuku sent in five crosses and took a pair of corners during Wednesday's loss, but it wasn't enough as England controlled the match and limited Mbuku. The forward couldn't make a difference against England's brilliant backline throughout the match. Mbuku is set to play in Ligue 2 with Montpellier this upcoming season.
Cross leads to goal
Mbuku generated one shot (one on goal), seven crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 50th minute.
Analysis: Mbuku was heavily involved throughout the game as DR Congo defeated Uzbekistan to book their place in the round of 32. The winger started for the first time in the World Cup and thought he had scored a goal, but he was judged to be offside. He took seven crosses in the game, including one corner. Of the seven crosses, he completed one, which found Yoanne Wissa who was fouled and was able to score the penalty that followed.
