Subs in late versus Tunisia
Elanga (knee) was inserted very late in Sunday's 5-1 victory over Tunisia, without recording any stat.
Analysis: Elanga was fit following an injury scare in early June, but he was managed carefully in the opener, only playing in the final stages of the game, which was well out of hand at that point. He could compete with Benjamin Nygren and Lucas Bergvall once he's in better shape, while Yasin Ayari started the tournament with a brace. Elanga tallied two goals and one assist in 42 games (20 starts) with Newcastle United in 2025/2026.
Good to go Sunday
Elanga (knee) is available for Sunday's clash with Tunisia, according to manager Graham Potter. "All players are available and ready to play (against Tunisia). I have a pretty clear picture of what the starting eleven will look like and have had it for a while."
Analysis: Elanga picked up a knee contusion at the start of the Swedish training camp, but it appears his recovery has gone as expected. He's back fit and available for the opening clash with Tunisia, where he should be an option in the attack. Elanga will likely be a bench option to start, but he should get his chances off the bench in attacking midfield and as a wide option if needed.
